Spain to Reduce Madrid-Seville Trains Until European Management System Installed
- Spain is considering suspending rail service between Madrid and Barcelona following this week's train crash that killed at least 69 people, Spanish transport minister Oscar Puente said.
- Deteriorating public infrastructure has plagued Spain in recent years, prompting multiple accidents this year and leading the government to rethink its approach due to a 'lack of confidence in the rail system,' Puente said.
- The Madrid-Barcelona line is due for renovation next year, but halting operations would leave passengers without service for one to two years, Puente said.
- Amid pressure to resign over accidents this year, Puente remains in his post as a key ally of Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez, stating he will continue fulfilling his duty.
- With a general election scheduled for November 29, Spain's deteriorating public infrastructure has emerged as a central campaign issue shaping the Socialist Party's political standing.
