  • The government's president, Pedro Sánchez, denies the crisis in the railway network and the political responsibility.
  • Pedro Sánchez blames the Popular Party for creating a perception of insecurity through falsehoods.
  • The president defended that the Government has handled the situation correctly through Minister Óscar Puente.

  • There is confusion about the number of review trains operating on the tracks, with different figures provided by different parties.
  • Following the accident with 46 fatal victims, the president praises the country's railway system.
  • Only the loyal Bildu and ERC defended the president in congress.
