Sanchez, 'confidence in the high-speed system in Spain has disappeared'

Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez acknowledged today that trust in Spain's high-speed rail system "has broken down".

"There is a betrayed trust in our country's high-speed system, and the government's job is not just to make a diagnosis, but to offer solutions so that a tragedy of this size, as the head of state, King Felipe VI, said yesterday, does not happen again. And we are focused on this work," he said in a statement to the media from Urda, province of Toledo, after attending the meeting of the Emergency Coordination Center, over the train accident in which 69 people died.
