A painful corollary

The article critiques the Spanish government's handling of railway safety and accountability following recent accidents. It highlights the negligence of officials, particularly Sánchez and Puente, in addressing systemic issues within the railway system. The author argues that the government is more focused on maintaining power than on genuine reform, leading to a deterioration of public services. Unions like CCOO and UGT are reluctant to participate in scapegoating workers, reflecting a broader struggle against governmental populism and corruption. The piece concludes that the moral and functional failures of the government are evident, exacerbated by a lack of investment and adherence to safety recommendations.
