Overview
- Vox held planned precampaign appearances on Wednesday, October 28, in Santander and Valladolid while publicly refusing to suspend events after the Urda (Toledo) crash.
- The Urda accident has left dozens dead and many injured and is the subject of an active judicial and technical investigation with casualty figures still being confirmed.
- Santiago Abascal called the government 'criminal' and said public funds were misspent, and party spokespeople framed continuing the campaign as a duty to denounce alleged official failures.
- Vox said it has legally joined the earlier Adamuz rail case to demand protection of evidence after alleging that proofs went missing following that January accident.
- Coverage is sharply polarized with critics calling Vox's stance an exploitation of a national tragedy while the party insists its approach highlights safety and accountability issues tied to past rail incidents.
