The leader confirmed his plans to travel to the crash site after expressing his grief and solidarity on social media platform X. Pedro Sánchez wrote that the nation had endured a "night of deep pain" due to the catastrophic rail incident.
In his online statement, he extended his most heartfelt sympathies to the families and friends of those who lost their lives. "No words can alleviate such immense suffering," Sánchez acknowledged, before assuring them that "the entire country stands with them in this extremely difficult moment."
