Madrid, January 24, 2026 - Total News Agency - TNA - The official reconstruction of the first hours after the train accident in the Cordovan town of Adamuz revealed a serious picture of institutional disorganization, delays in the transmission of key information, and diffuse responsibilities among the bodies involved. The initial lack of coordination generated confusion both operationally and in the public communication of the incident, while emergency services tried to act with partial information. In parallel, the statements from the head of the Ministry of Transport added controversy. Meanwhile, the victims and their families await clear answers in a context marked by the perception of improvisation and lack of control in the most critical moments after the disaster. Sources consulted: Ministry of Transport of Spain, official documentation of the accident's chronology, information from Adif, Spanish media. Transport and safety experts point out that the first minutes following a disaster of this magnitude are decisive to reduce additional risks and optimize the medical response, which is why the delay in confirming basic data is particularly concerning. The publication of the official chronology, far from closing the debate, opened new questions about the protocols of action, the capacity for inter-institutional response, and the chain of command in railway emergencies. For at least twenty minutes, Adif, responsible for the railway infrastructure, believed that the second train involved had only made a sudden stop and not that it had derailed. The official chronology shows that it was necessary for almost half an hour for that information to be confirmed and formally communicated. Until that moment, the messages between the different bodies were fragmented, incomplete, and, in some cases, contradictory. The Ministry of Transport's document details that in that period, fifteen calls were registered between nine different entities, without there being a clear command or a unified information channel.
