Feijóo resumes campaign in Valladolid after Urda train crash
People's Party leader Alberto Núñez Feijóo resumed campaigning in Valladolid after campaign events were suspended following the Urda train crash.
He began by remembering the crash victims; the article says 69 people died.
Feijóo criticized Pedro Sánchez's government, accusing it of years of scandals and poor management.
He linked government responsibility for transport to two rail accidents in nine months, at Adamuz and Urda, and said a future government led by him would audit rail transport and safety systems.
He called for public mobilization on November 29, without the article explaining what that date refers to.
Feijóo also promised to raise pensions each year in line with inflation and said his party would seek to ensure Spanish farming laws do not demand more than European rules.
His rail audit proposal depends on him becoming prime minister; no further next steps are specified.

We have had years of rubbish politics, years of spectacle, but enough is enough.
We have gone from scandal to scandal, from court case to court case. Enough is enough.
We know where the person responsible for our infrastructure and our insecurity over these last eight years is. He is in La Moncloa.
