From his party's headquarters, Feijóo demanded an immediate, governmental, and judicial investigation, while acknowledging the period of mourning. The PP has cancelled all pre-campaign events.

Feijóo stated that “grief does not oblige us to remain silent” and urged transparency regarding the state of railway infrastructure and safety systems, including warnings and measures adopted. He shared sentiments of “grief, solidarity, and demand,” extending condolences to victims and the injured.

As reported by RTVE, Feijóo also called for blood donations and expressed his party’s closeness to those awaiting news of their loved ones, citing former minister Fátima Bañez. He praised the rapid response of emergency professionals, healthcare personnel, and residents who assisted the victims.

In conclusion, the PP president called for a “complete and independent review” of the entire Spanish railway network and a clear accounting of funds spent. He affirmed that citizens deserve effective institutions and adequate infrastructure. PP leaders will participate in the national moments of silence.
