The President of the Government, Pedro Sánchez, has stated this Friday that the Executive is not going to limit itself to clarifying the causes of the Urda (Toledo) railway accident, in which at least 69 people lost their lives, but will also "offer solutions" to restore the "broken trust" in Spain's high-speed rail system.
After returning to the Integrated Operational Cooperation Center (Cecopi) in Toledo, the body that coordinates the management of this emergency, he insisted that it is "not acceptable" that in the same year two accidents of such magnitude occur —the one in Adamuz (Córdoba), in January, left 46 dead— in a country like Spain, "with such a powerful high-speed system".
"There is broken trust in our country's high-speed system and the government's work is not only to make the diagnosis, to know what the causes are, but to offer solutions so that a tragedy like this does not happen again. And that is the work we are doing," he underscored in a questionless appearance alongside the president of Castilla-La Mancha, Emiliano García-Page.
According to what he explained, this task is being carried out from the Ministry of Transport and Sustainable Mobility, headed by Óscar Puente. These words come a day after sources from Moncloa reiterated that the head of the Executive maintains his confidence in the minister and ruled out his dismissal or a possible resignation.
