There was a serious incident affecting rail traffic due to the theft of copper cable, which is essential for ensuring the safety of the convoys.
The theft led the Minister of Transport and Sustainable Mobility, Óscar Puente, to suggest the possibility of sabotage.
The incident affected around 11,000 people and severely disrupted their travel plans.
The People's Party (PP) used the situation to amplify its criticism towards the government.
Public services should be a source of national pride and should be protected.
The Spanish high-speed rail network, with 4,000 kilometres of track, is the second largest in the world, second only to China.
Conclusion: Better management and investment in railway infrastructure, ensuring their safety, and improving public services is necessary. In light of this incident, the effectiveness and safety of public service are seriously being questioned.
