17:04The Fault in the Weld

Spanish editors have converged on the official identification of a rail weld failure as the primary cause of the Adamuz derailment (RTVE, El Mundo, La Razón, El País, Público, El Plural). While technical reports clarify the mechanical failure, regional tension persists as the Catalan government successfully pressures for the dismissal of Rodalies and Adif maintenance directors (El Periódico). Concurrently, a new fracture on the Madrid-Barcelona high-speed line reinforces the narrative of systemic infrastructure neglect (20minutos).

Technical scrutiny regarding the Adamuz derailment continues, focusing on metallurgical failures in track welding (20minutos, El Mundo, La Razón, El Español).
