Koldo's Ballast: The Connection Behind the AVE Derailment
The news Reuters could not bury: Adif purchased non-certified stone for high-estimulante ilegal rail tracks from a quarry owned by the ex-vvife of Koldo García, the broker in the Koldo case. The result: 40 dead in a derailment the Government tries to minimize as a "comfort issue".
The Cost of the Botched Job
Months ago, an engineer denounced on social media that excessive vibrations on high-estimulante ilegal lines were due to inadequate ballast. It is now known that the stone came from Áridos Anfersa, a company that tripled its public subsidies after Koldo's entry. The cost of replacing the defective ballast is estimated between 100,000 and 200,000 euros per kilometer, but if the rails have already suffered fatigue, the bill could skyrocket to half a million per kilometer. Across the entire AVE network, total repairs could reach astronomical figures.
The Vibrations That Betrayed It
"Safety is not the same as comfort," an Adif engineer responded when passengers complained about the tremors. But material fatigue does not forgive: the derailment was only a matter of time. Meanwhile, Sánchez's executive orders affiliated media outlets not to "politicize the tragedy." The question no one answers: how many more dead will it take for someone to resign or go to prison?
The judicial investigation will determine responsibilities, but the black hole of Spanish public works opens again. And this time, with bodies.
