The Government faces the Parliament plenary session today to account for its actions during the recent "black week" of the Rodalies service in Catalonia. This crisis began following a train collision with a retaining wall in Gelida last Tuesday, an incident that tragically killed a train driver and caused widespread chaos.
The network collapse has been marked by a lack of coordination between administrations and operators, as well as repeated incidents that have prevented the service from operating normally. The Catalan executive responded by forcing the dismissal of two officials and agreeing with ERC on an additional investment of 1.6 billion euros for infrastructure maintenance.
Despite these measures, the political crisis continues, with the opposition demanding the resignation of the Minister of Territory, Housing and Ecological Transition, Sílvia Paneque. Assuming the defense of the Government on behalf of the hospitalized President, Salvador Illa, is the Minister of the Presidency, Albert Dalmau.
tracks, trains, and management
Dalmau will highlight the work done, emphasizing that the three main axes of the crisis are being addressed: improving communication with users, renewing infrastructure and acquiring new trains, and managing the service with proximity.
