The victims of the Alvia railway accident that in July 2013 left 80 dead and 144 wounded in Santiago de Compostela ugly the politicians of United PodemosPablo Iglesias and Yolanda Díaz who, now that they have come to the Government, as Vice President and Minister of Labor, have Forgotten their claims, for which they were strong advocates for years.

The Victims Platform Alvia 04155 , the majority among those affected by the incident, have reproached Iglesias and Diaz for their attitude through a tweet and a video in which they blame their "half year of silence" because just this Tuesday, June 23 Six months have passed since the sending of a letter asking him for one of his main demands for years, that an Independent Technical Investigation be carried out on the accident, and they have still not received a response.

Through this publication, they remind him, "You are now in the government" and ask him: "Are you going to publicly demand the investigation that the European Union has demanded for years?"

To give more force to this question, they accompany it with a video that includes some words by Pablo Iglesias in 2017 in which he described as "indecent" that there has been "a sort of pact of silence" between PP and PSOE that " has prevented the victims from having the right to dignity that implies, on the one hand, a technical commission and, on the other, a parliamentary commission. "

Now that he is part of the Government and can bet on carrying out that commission, which they also asked him six months ago, they ask him: "When are you going to start it?"

In addition, those affected give more strength to their reproaches with the hashtags that accompany the publication on Twitter and the video itself, #NoMasPactosDeSilencio, #SeguimosEsperando.

Yolanda Díaz's lurch

The video also includes statements that ugly the change in attitude of Yolanda Diaz, in whom they have always had an ally and who, from the opposition, in September 2019, indicated that it seemed "very sad" that today the families of the victims of the incident cannot even pass their mourning "because the responsibilities have not yet been clarified and we have not known what has happened in the Alvia incident".

Those affected already blamed this change of position on United We Can last February, during the presentation ceremony of Deputy Antón Gómez-Reino as candidate for the Xunta de Galicia by the Galicia En Común Anova Mareas coalition.

They tried unsuccessfully to meet with Iglesias, who clothed Gómez Reino in A Coruña, but they only managed a brief encounter with the Galician president and Yolanda Diaz.

Gómez-Reino himself also stars in the video made with the victims, which recovers his statements from November 2018 in which he branded as "fundamental" that the victims be helped to find "justice, truth and reparation."

In addition, declarations of Conchi and Cristina are recovered , mothers of two deceased in the Angrois curve, who face the political class that "they let time pass so that this dies, so that this is buried as our dead."

Europe request

The platform of those affected recalls in this video that the European Commission has already called on Spain for an independent investigation into what happened almost seven years ago.

As early as July 2016 the European Railway Agency concluded that the report of the Commission for the Investigation of Railway Accidents (CIAF) was not independent and did not address "key elements".

In February of this year, the European Commissioner for Transport, Adina Valean , warned again, in response to a question from BNG MEP Ana Miranda , that the investigation "is still pending".

The Angrois curve accident is under investigation in the Investigating Court number 3 in Santiago with two people under investigation: the train driver, Francisco José Garzón Amo , and the former head of Traffic Safety at Adif, Andrés Cortabitarte .

The case was reopened after eleven months closed to investigate "unsuccessful data" related to the possible deletion of data from the train and is now pending a series of statements postponed by the coronavirus crisis.
