Riots in Madrid after the train disaster. The crowd marched on the ministry

Protests in Madrid escalated into riots following a train disaster in Toledo that killed at least 68 people. Demonstrators gathered outside the Ministry of Transport to blame Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez and Transport Minister Oscar Puente for the tragedy. Police used tear gas to disperse the crowd of around 1,500 people. The train collision, involving two high-speed trains, was attributed to a possible human error, as one train was allowed to proceed despite a red signal. This incident marks another serious railway disaster in Spain this year, prompting criticism from opposition parties regarding railway infrastructure management.
