24.01.2026The Day of the Catalan Rail Suspension
On January 24, Spanish editorial priority shifted from the technical causes of the Adamuz derailment to a total systemic collapse in Catalonia. The morning began with a focus on the preliminary report confirming a pre-existing track fracture, prompting conservative outlets to highlight Minister Óscar Puente’s previous dismissals of the evidence as 'ridiculous.' Simultaneously, the head of Adif reportedly offered his resignation.
By midday, the narrative was overtaken by the Generalitat’s decision to suspend all Rodalies services due to safety risks exacerbated by storm ‘Ingrid.’ Editors tracked the escalation from partial delays to a complete paralysis of the network, which authorities later extended through Sunday.
In the evening, national media balanced the rail crisis with reports from the United States, focusing on a fatal shooting by Trump’s immigration agents in Minneapolis and the subsequent mobilization of the Minnesota National Guard, signaling a broadening of the international desk's focus on American civil unrest.
