Spain Defends Rail Investment Amid Crashes

Spain's transport minister said the government has increased spending on train tracks and maintenance.

This comes after two recent train accidents that killed many people.

Some people in the government and experts say Spain hasn't spent enough on train safety.

The minister says spending has gone up a lot since 2017 and is now similar to other European countries.

He also said that in the past, the government spent much less on trains because of financial problems.

Now, they are spending more to make trains safer.
