The collision of two trains in Spain sparked a wave of popular anger - a tragedy in which at least 68 people died, forced hundreds of people to take to the streets of Madrid and damage the statue of the country's Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez. Ocadiario writes that the protesters demanded the resignation of Transport Minister Oscar Fuente. The protesters read accusations against the official and said that the current government is not fulfilling its responsibilities. The protest quickly escalated into clashes with the police, as protesters threw torches and other objects, knocked over trash cans and set off flares. Law enforcement officers had to use tear gas to disperse the crowd. The accident happened the day before between the cities of Los Avens and Orda. Two cars derailed and overturned. The tragedy complicated Sánchez's political position ahead of early parliamentary elections to be held at the end of November. More IZ RU news in max.
