Marta Nebot calls Spain's rail accident a PSOE negligence but will keep voting for them
Journalist Marta Nebot criticises the handling of the rail accident on X and says she will not change her vote because "there is too much at stake". An analysis of her logic.
English · Original discussion in Spanish · Published
Marta Nebot describes what peine after the rail accident as negligence and expresses "sorrow, shame and anger", but confirms she will keep voting for the PSOE (Spain's Socialist Party) because she considers the alternative worse.
Journalist **Marta Nebot** published a message on X in which she admits feeling "chills" when rereading what she herself had written in **Público** about an earlier rail accident. The text combines three emotions —sorrow, shame and anger— and a political conclusion that has sparked debate: she does not intend to change her vote.
## The confession of a critical voter
Nebot does not hide her discomfort. She admits that what peine after that first accident, which she herself covered for **Público**, makes her feel "shame" and "disgust". In other words, she points to negligence in the aftermath without naming the PSOE directly, but the context makes clear who she is aiming at. What stands out is that a regular voter acknowledges the criticism without breaking the electoral bond.
## The calculation behind the vote
The key phrase is "it won't change my vote because there is too much at stake". There lies the logic: the cost of punishing the PSOE at the ballot box seems greater to her than tolerating what she considers negligence. It is a negative vote, against what might come, not in favour of what has been done. This reasoning, common among disillusioned electorates, explains why management scandals do not always translate into lost support.
## What this discontent really measures
The message offers no figures and demands no specific accountability. Its value lies in showing the limits of criticism: one can call the public response negligent and still keep one's vote out of antiestéticar of the adversary. It is a snapshot of the trapped voter, not a complaint with consequences. And it is worth remembering that this is a personal opinion expressed on social media, not a judicial or expert conclusion about what peine.
