At least 39 people have been killed and 12 are in intensive care after two trains collided in southern Spain on Sunday night in what the prime minister, Pedro Sánchez, called “a night of deep pain for our country”.

A high-speed Iryo train travelling from Málaga to Madrid derailed near the municipality of Adamuz in Córdoba province at around 7.40pm on Sunday, crossing on to the other track where it hit an oncoming train, Adif, Spain’s rail infrastructure authority, posted on X.

The death/injury numbers have been going up since the last report a few hours ago

    The next government is going to be far-right like in the rest of europe so good luck if you think that’s going to improve anything.

      Yyep. The Nazi gambit.

      Just a little nationalist fascism to get the economy going.

      Voters seem to always think “well, unlike the last hundred times, it might be alright this time?”

      The next government will not be far-right. Vox is not going to win. It will most probably be in the coalition but we will see how much influence it will have over the policy. At this point this result is pretty much inevitable. PSOE had too many corruption scandals and mismanaged too many things like the infrastructure (as we can see). It’s amazing it lasted as long it did with its dependency on separatist parties and deals undermining democracy. They are doing good on economy and I applaud them for standing up for Palestine (it’s great not having to be ashamed of your government) but I think it’s time for them to go. It’s hard to tell what PP-Vox government will look like. Everyone was afraid of Meloni and she’s doing fine. My hope is that PP will not fuck up the economy but will improve infrastructure. I don’t think they will do much on social issues, they tried already in the past and failed. We’ll see, I will follow next elections closely and decide were to cast my vote. I don’t think it will be PSOE though, probably Sumar or PP.
