The Government rules out resignations, announces a series of measures to "minimize risks" and the unions respond with a railway strike during the electoral campaign

The government is taking proactive measures following the train accident in Urda that resulted in 69 fatalities, aiming to minimize risks without accepting responsibility. The Minister has ruled out resigning despite calls for accountability and emphasized the need for a debate on Spain's high-speed rail expansion. Unions have announced a strike on November 17 due to safety concerns, reflecting a loss of trust in the infrastructure manager. New safety measures will be implemented, including shared communications from control centers and a reduction in train frequency on the Madrid-Sevilla line until a new signaling system is operational. The situation is further complicated by upcoming elections.
