The secretary general of Vox, Ignacio Garriga, said this Saturday in Las Palmas de Gran Canaria that his party "will work tirelessly" to purge "up to the last political responsibility, and even criminal responsibility, if there were any" after the railway accident that occurred in Toledo, which has left up to 69 dead.
Garriga accused a central Government which he reproaches for "negligences" while "making little jokes on television," despite the fact that the train drivers had been warning for some time about the "third-worldization" of the railway network in Spain.
In statements to the media during an event with supporters in Las Palmas de Gran Canaria, the Vox leader emphasized that, although the party "continues in mourning with the Spanish people" over the Urda railway tragedy, "mourning does not mean silence or stepping aside."
"We will continue pointing out the true responsible parties for Urda, for Ardamuz, for the blackout, who are none other than Pedro Sánchez and the Socialist Party," Garriga stated, reiterating that Vox intends to "continue denouncing the policies of the Socialist Party" and standing up to those who "wish that we were silent."
Along these lines, he stressed that "we have no doubt that if it depended on Pedro Sánchez or Óscar 'Death', they would decree silence until the very day of the elections."
According to what the Vox secretary general explained, while the "train drivers denounced the third-worldization of the railway infrastructure" and "the Spanish people, day after day, saw how their tickets were being canceled," the Socialist Party, from the Government, "allocated more than 1.500 million in loans to Egypt, Uzbekistan or Morocco, and more than 500 million for the purchase of trains in Morocco."
Garriga added that "we also had to suffer how the Government of Spain dedicated itself to making little jokes on television about Spanish high speed," in reference to the presence of the Minister of Transport, Óscar Puente, in the program "Cara al Show," broadcast on La Sexta.
In conclusion, he emphasized that Vox "will not remain silent and will work tirelessly to achieve the purging of up to the last political and criminal responsibility, of course, if there were any."
