Spain to pay €20 million in compensation to victims of high-speed train crash
The Spanish government will provide €216,000 per deceased victim's family and up to €84,000 to injured survivors following the Adamuz crash that killed 45 people.
- On Tuesday, the Spanish government announced it will disburse €20 million to victims of the Adamuz high-speed train crash that killed 45 people and injured more than 150.

- Families of those killed will receive 216000 euros each within three months, with Puente saying `We know that ordinary procedures and legal timelines do not always respond to the vital urgency of a tragedy like this`.
- The minister has come under pressure as Transport Minister Óscar Puente faces public scrutiny and the People's Party demanded his resignation amid preliminary inquiries, while Rodalies drivers refused work and a software failure on Monday disrupted services.
- Finnbarr O'Reilly, New York Times photographer, found a bogie in a stream and his images ignited media scrutiny, while authorities admitted awareness but withheld information from the Times.
