Spanish train disaster deals new blow to Sánchez’s long-shot election bid

A train crash near Toledo, Spain, has raised concerns about Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez's handling of public infrastructure ahead of elections. The incident, resulting in at least 68 fatalities, remains under investigation. This tragedy follows a previous crash attributed to maintenance issues, increasing scrutiny on Spain's rail system and the government's management of public services. Sánchez had been gaining traction against conservative rival Alberto Núñez Feijóo, focusing on social issues, but this disaster has shifted the narrative towards his record on crisis management and public service improvements.
