🇪🇸 Railway strike begins in Spain amid deadly accidents and poor working conditions A three-day national train strike has begun across Spain following two deadly accidents, including one of the worst in Europe, drawing attention to serious maintenance issues in the Spanish railway system. More than 330 high-speed and medium-distance trains have been cancelled, with operators running only minimum services. Commuter trains are also affected. A high-speed collision in southern Andalusia on January 18 killed 45 people, and two days later, a driver was killed, and four passengers were seriously injured when a containment wall collapsed onto the tracks near Barcelona, derailing a commuter train after heavy rains. The union says the rail system is deteriorating and is demanding stronger safety and maintenance guarantees. Far-left Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez is scheduled to brief parliament on Wednesday regarding the failures in the rail system.
