The gathering, which began at 7:00 PM following the landslide on the R1 line in Gelida, is set to resume around 10:00 PM. The goal is for the involved parties, including Adif and Renfe, to advance the “assignments” given by the Government to ensure line safety. Government sources emphasize the need to prevent the recurrence of such incidents.
“"The incident is absolutely intolerable, and we demand urgent measures."
The majority train drivers' union, Semaf, warned of the possibility of paralyzing the Rodalies service in sections where a clear risk of landslide is identified. Renfe, for its part, is considering temporarily suspending service at all network points where slippage risks have been found.
Attending the meeting, in addition to ministers Albert Dalmau (Presidency), Sílvia Paneque (Territory), and Núria Parlon (Interior), are key representatives such as Renfe spokesperson, Antonio Carmona, and the director general of the Catalan Traffic Service, Ramon Lamiel. Members of Mossos d’Esquadra, Protecció Civil, Adif, and Infraestructures.cat are also present.
According to the train drivers, Adif geotechnical engineers are conducting a thorough re-evaluation of the railway network's condition and reviewing circulation conditions “in detail.” The Government is seeking an immediate solution and does not rule out the meeting extending into the early morning, given that “hundreds of people” are working on the designed safety plan.
