18.01.2026 ⇢ The Day of the Adamuz Train Collision
⌨Spanish editorial priorities shifted from a geopolitical standoff to a domestic tragedy on January 18. The morning began with a focus on the escalating 'Arctic Trade War,' as editors tracked Donald Trump’s threat of 25% tariffs against European nations protecting Greenland. President Pedro Sánchez’s midday warning that the annexation of Greenland would signal the 'death of NATO' dominated the early afternoon headlines, alongside reports of German troops withdrawing from the island under US pressure.
By late evening, international tensions were abruptly superseded by a fatal high-speed rail disaster in Adamuz, Córdoba. Editors across all major outlets pivoted to live coverage of the collision between Renfe and Iryo trains, with the confirmed death toll rising from two to 21 within three hours. Simultaneously, the media prioritized the prolonged hospitalization of Catalan President Salvador Illa, whose neurological symptoms became a secondary domestic focus as the rail corridor to Andalusia remained suspended.
