Train Crash Sparks Safety Scrutiny
Spain's transport minister has refused to resign following a second major train crash on his watch, per Reuters. The latest collision near Madrid killed 69 people and has prompted widespread public outrage.
The government is now studying whether Spain's rail system is too old and prone to human error, Bloomberg reports. Experts point to systemic failures in safety protocols and aging infrastructure as key factors contributing to the disaster.
Spanish media are revealing that officials were aware of risks on the Madrid-Seville line before the crash, per Le Monde. The revelations raise questions about transparency and oversight in the country's railway operations.
