Spain: 69 candles lit at Toledo Cathedral for train crash victims
A solemn funeral Mass was held in Toledo's cathedral for the 69 victims of a recent train disaster in Spain. The royal couple attended, while candles were lit in memory of the deceased. The tragedy, which occurred on October 28 when a Renfe train collided with a stationary Iryo service, has led to significant political fallout, including the resignation of key officials and a fraud investigation into EU safety funds. Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez faced criticism for not attending the Mass, as the government faces increased pressure ahead of the upcoming general election on November 29. Rail services were also disrupted by a strike among train drivers.
