Protests and disturbances occurred in Madrid after the serious railway accident

Protests erupted in Madrid following a severe train accident that resulted in at least 68 fatalities. Approximately 1500 demonstrators gathered, some clashing with police, leading to the use of tear gas. The protests targeted Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez and Transport Minister Óscar Puente, who are blamed for the incident involving a collision between Renfe and Iryo high-speed trains. The cause of the accident remains unclear, but Puente suggested human error might be involved. This incident marks the second deadly train crash this year, raising further scrutiny on Sánchez's government amid ongoing criticism over housing issues.
