22.01.2026The Day of the Forty-Five Dead in Adamuz
On January 22, Spanish editors focused on the conclusion of the Adamuz rescue operation and the resulting labor-technical paralysis of the rail network. In the morning, headlines centered on systemic maintenance failures, with reports of fractured rails and pre-existing damage found on a Talgo train prior to the Iryo collision. Conservative outlets linked infrastructure officials to the Koldo corruption case, while the narrative in Catalonia was dominated by a total driver strike that halted all Rodalies services.
By early afternoon, the death toll in Adamuz was officially confirmed at 45 after the recovery of the final two bodies. This grim finality shifted editorial focus toward accountability; the Ministry of Transport faced criticism for withholding black box data, and Adif was reported to have sidelined a significant portion of its inspection fleet. By evening, the focus moved to the conditional restoration of Catalan rail services, as drivers forced Adif to accept joint safety inspections of the tracks before resuming operations.
