The former socialist president of the Junta de Andalucía, Susana Díaz, denounced this Wednesday that "it is not right" that in a country like Spain two railway accidents of enormous seriousness should be chained together in barely ten months, and she warned that "responsibilities will have to be determined" after the collision registered in the province of Toledo between two trains on the Madrid-Sevilla line.
The former general secretary of the Andalusian PSOE also made herself known in this way on the program 'En boca de todos' on Cuatro Televisión, in statements collected by Europa Press, after the railway accident that occurred in Toledo, which has caused at least 68 deaths.
During her intervention, Susana Díaz stressed that "this will have to be analyzed when the time comes," linking what happened with the Adamuz (Córdoba) accident last January, in which 46 people died, and emphasizing that this is the second railway accident that has occurred "on the same track" so far this year.
The former Andalusian leader recalled that this high-speed infrastructure has been in service for "30 years," and that it currently supports "three times as many trains as 30 years ago," while also focusing on the fact that "professionals are saying that they need more resources" to guarantee safety.
Díaz insisted that the day should be focused on accompanying the victims and their families, but stressed that "responsibilities will have to be determined" when appropriate, because "it is not right" that "in a country like Spain" two tragedies like those of Adamuz and Urda (Toledo) have occurred in ten months.
"It is unacceptable," the socialist emphasized, explaining that she knows "how many people feel every day," like her, when they take "that AVE," so she understands "the fear that people have right now." "This is very hard, and responsibilities will have to be assumed," reiterated Susana Díaz, who also added that "thank God" she traveled this past Tuesday night and that this Wednesday she did not have to get on any of the derailed trains.
