The President of the Spanish Government, Pedro Sánchez, announced on Wednesday in Congress that the Executive will take "all necessary measures" to prevent the recurrence of a train accident such as the one in Adamuz, Córdoba, in which 46 people died, and has ensured that "justice" will be done if it is "necessary and fair".

During his appearance before the plenary of the Lower House, Sanchez stressed the Government's commitment to clarification and accountability, while reiterating its condolences to the victims and their families.

He has also defended the action of the public services following the accident. He has explained that "in a few minutes" a comprehensive state-wide device was activated that allowed a "quick response" and, in his view, "helped save lives."

Sanchez has stressed that coordination and cooperation between administrations was essential in the management of the emergency. "This collaboration and coordination, within the tragedy, allowed a rapid and orderly response that I sincerely believe helped save lives," he said.

In this regard, he recalled that the emergency was activated by the Adif Protection and Security Centre at 7.55 p.m. and that the first people injured on both trains were already known.

The President has reiterated that the Government will examine what happened in order to strengthen rail safety and prevent such a disaster from happening again.
