Spanish Train Disaster Came After Train Ordered to Go in Error: Minister
- Two trains collided near Madrid on Wednesday morning, killing at least 68 people and injuring 58, according to emergency services in one of Europe's deadliest rail disasters this century.

- Far-Right Vox leader Santiago Abascal slammed the government, writing, 'I will not rest until this government, which is a criminal organization, is in the dock answering for its crimes.'
- An anonymous Socialist Party lawmaker said the tragedy 'inevitably upends the campaign and deals a blow to Sánchez,' noting the opposition will leverage it as they did the Adamuz accident.
