Spanish police broke up a protest in Madrid targeting the nation’s transportation ministry on October 29, 2026. The demonstration followed a major rail crash that killed at least 69 people overnight. The protest called for the transport minister to resign, citing alleged chronic mismanagement of the railways. The crash was the second incident this year involving a train collision on the same track between Madrid and Seville.
