Spain has announced total compensation of 20 million euros for the victims of the railway disaster in Adamuz, which occurred on January 18, resulting in 45 deaths and over 150 injuries. The Minister of Transport, Oscar Puente, stated that the families of the victims will receive 216,000 euros each, within a maximum of three months, an amount composed of tax-exempt aid, insurance advances, and payments from travel insurance.

Puente emphasized the need to provide rapid support, considering the severity of the tragedy. Payments for the injured will range between 2,400 and 84,000 euros. Following the accident, Puente is facing pressure from the opposition, which is calling for his resignation, in the context of other recent railway incidents. Additionally, the railway network in Catalonia has experienced disruptions, and many drivers have refused to work due to security concerns.
