#ADIF is a company that has proven to be incompetent, filled with politicians of all kinds, who only hinder the real activity it should have, which is supervision, management, and evolution of the railway system in the country. The lack of real investment, which is not unnecessary spending, has created a monster that operates separately from the Ministry in an inefficient and almost negligent manner... a bit like what happens with #AENA, #INECO, #TRAGSA, and all public companies... which have no reason to exist other than to conceal their management and serve as a dumping ground and payment of political favors. This causes deaths. https://elpais.com/espana/2026-10-30/centro-de-control-de-atocha-un-centenar-de-operarios-entre-la-presion-del-trafico-y-un-software-de-vanguardia.html (translated)
