The Minister of Territory, Silvia Paneque, explained that "for the first time" the entire commuter rail network is undergoing a comprehensive review and declared that the state of the infrastructure they found is "fragile" and "utterly deplorable." She made these remarks during an appearance before the Catalan Parliament on Thursday. Paneque also took the opportunity to boast about her handling of the rail crisis in Catalonia, triggered by the Gelida accident, where a young trainee train driver lost his life after a retaining wall collapsed under the R4 train he was traveling on, on January 20th. The Minister asserted that the Catalan government "has prioritized safety at all times," and also reiterated its demands for dismissals at both Renfe and Adif, as well as its pressure on the Ministry to accelerate investment.</p>]]></description>
