Pedro Sánchez, the President of the Spanish Government, is scheduled to appear before Congress on Wednesday to discuss serious railway incidents that resulted in 47 fatalities recently in Adamuz and Gelida. This will be his first appearance since December, where he is expected to announce multi-million euro investments aimed at enhancing rail infrastructure, particularly in Catalonia. The focus will be on improving the safety and reliability of Spain's rail services following these tragic events.

In his address, Sánchez will detail the government’s commitment to increasing spending on railway maintenance across the entire network, which is crucial to restoring public confidence in the railway system. Following his speech, there will be a notable political confrontation between Sánchez and the leader of the opposition, Alberto Núñez Feijóo. This will be their initial debate of the year and comes right after the elections in Aragón, setting the stage for a pivotal moment in Spanish politics as both leaders discuss the future of the railway sector in response to public safety concerns.

This Congressional session underscores the ongoing pressure on the government to act decisively in the wake of recent tragedies. Investments in infrastructure not only aim to prevent future accidents but are also framed within a broader narrative of economic recovery and public accountability in Spain's transport policy.
