The People's Party (PP) has stated that previous explanations are insufficient, reinforcing the need for a thorough review of the government's railway policy. In Sánchez's inner circle, they avoid making anticipatory definitions, but they acknowledge that opposition pressure will increase in the coming days. The main opposition party's strategy aims to use its absolute majority of deputies to force a hearing without the need for the request to first pass through the Spokespersons' Board. The PP argues that the magnitude of the railway accidents recorded in recent days, both in Adamuz and other points in the country, demands direct political explanations from the head of the executive. The national leadership of the PP confirmed that it will push for an urgent appearance by the President of the Government, Pedro Sánchez, in the Congress of Deputies next week. From the party's national headquarters on Génova Street, it was reported that the PP's spokesperson in Congress, Ester Muñoz, will begin telephone contact with the different parliamentary groups to garner support and ensure that Sánchez appears in the Lower Chamber to account for his actions. The potential presidential appearance in Congress thus profiles as a new focus of political tension, with the Adamuz tragedy as a backdrop and the management of public infrastructure at the center of the national debate. Sources consulted: Spanish parliamentary media, statements from the People's Party, information from the Congress of Deputies, political coverage in national media. In addition to the presidential appearance, the party will demand the carrying out of an independent audit on the state of the railway network and control and maintenance systems, with the aim of determining if there were structural failures or negligence in management. However, the national leadership of the PP seeks to differentiate itself from the harder-line sectors of the party, especially the line pushed by the president of the Community of Madrid, Isabel Díaz Ayuso, who immediately called for political responsibility. 'Making a harsher criticism contributes nothing,' sources from the popular leadership hinted, in an attempt to maintain a firm but prudent profile. The parliamentary offensive takes place in a climate of strong social shock over the victims of the disasters and amid growing questioning of the Ministry of Transport, which attributed some of the incidents to intervening factors, such as extreme weather conditions. Madrid, January 22, 2026 - Total News Agency - TNA - The People's Party decided to move to a parliamentary offensive to demand explanations from the Government for the railway tragedy in Adamuz, where a serious accident left dozens dead and rekindled the debate on the state of railway infrastructure in Spain. From Génova they emphasize that the objective is to increase institutional pressure without, for now, falling into an escalation of personal accusations.
