68 dead. Railway tragedy in Spain hits campaign for legislative elections
A tragic train collision in Urda, Spain, resulted in at least 68 fatalities and 107 injuries, impacting the upcoming legislative elections. Most political parties suspended their campaigns, except for the far-right VOX, which criticized the government and filed a criminal complaint against railway officials. The Partido Popular also halted events but later shifted to political discourse, demanding accountability for infrastructure safety. Other parties, including PSOE and Podemos, expressed solidarity and called for independent audits of railway safety. Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez announced a national mourning period and emphasized the need for a thorough investigation into the incident.
