Feijóo points to poor maintenance of high-speed rail: "If they don't resign, we will oust them at the polls"
Alberto Núñez Feijóo, leader of the PP, criticized the Spanish government's poor maintenance of high-speed rail, linking it to a recent train accident in Toledo that resulted in 69 fatalities. He emphasized that political accountability will be determined in the upcoming elections, stating, "If they do not resign, we will remove them at the polls." Feijóo pointed to an outdated safety system as a key factor in the disaster and condemned the government's failure to update it. He also highlighted errors from the Adif control center and criticized the government's handling of the situation, calling for comprehensive answers rather than scapegoating individuals. Feijóo met with experts to discuss the broader implications of the incident, asserting that it reflects systemic issues rather than isolated failures.
