What is not inaugurated

Public capital in Spain is deteriorating silently despite its grand inaugurations. The lack of maintenance leads to significant economic and human losses, as seen in recent train accidents. The investment in infrastructure maintenance is insufficient compared to the expansion of high-speed rail. The government only increases funding after failures occur, highlighting a reactive rather than proactive approach. A national conservation balance is needed to assess critical assets and prioritize maintenance over new projects. Monitoring indicators of degradation is essential to prevent future incidents and ensure safety in transportation systems.
