Mallorca Rail Workers Honor Aldemuz Victims, Vow to Press for Real Safety Investment

The SFM workers' committee treats the Palma observance as a step toward formal demands for accountability through concrete fixes.

Overview

  • The committee voiced deep sorrow over the 18 January Aldemuz crash and expressed solidarity with victims, families, and colleagues at Renfe and Iryo.
  • Members joined a 13:00 minute of silence at platform 10 of Palma’s intermodal station in a show of sector unity.
  • They stressed their presence was solely out of respect for victims, distancing the act from institutional or partisan use.
  • Workers observed a day of leave for mourning, with plans to table detailed complaints about operational shortcomings afterward.
  • The committee argued that photos or official ceremonies do not ensure rail safety, urging investment that makes safety the absolute priority.
