Spain's second fatal rail crash in a year prompts transport minister resignation

The core claim is confirmed by the source, but the specific causes of the failures remain under investigation, and the political fallout is ongoing. This matters because it highlights systemic safety deficiencies in a major European transport network and could trigger regulatory or investment shifts.
