The tragedy of the Alvia de Santiago is still very present in the lives of the relatives of the victims and the residents of Angrois. On the first anniversary of the catastrophe, the Association of People Injured by the Alvia Railway Accident in Santiago de Compostela (APAFAS) has called for a series of events that will take place on July 24. As the organizers explain to El Confidencial Digital , everything will begin with a mass in the Cathedral of Santiago, at 5:30 p.m. At the end of the service, a group of musicians, led by a national police force, who personally intervened in the rescue of Angrois , will perform a song composed especially for the occasion. At eight in the afternoon, a commemorative event, with a more intimate and family atmosphere, was organized in the town to remember the victims. People have been summoned for half an hour before the rally begins. The civic ceremony will begin with a speech by Cristóbal González Rabadán, president of APAFAS. The names of the deceased will be read, and relatives and victims who want to participate will speak . Víctor Taibo, son of María Teresa Gómez Limón (Madrid representative of the Popular Party in the Madrid Assembly who was traveling on the damaged train), has written a poem dedicated to the victims that will be read at the end of the interventions.
To close the event, the Santiago music band Batemento will play their song 'Angrois' , dedicated to the victims, family members and volunteers of the tragedy. In the late afternoon, attendees will watch the passage of the same train, at the same time, that Phone Number List just a year ago should have arrived in the Galician capital. Given the harshness of the situation, the Xunta de Galicia will provide a team of health personnel . There will be no official invitations The Association of People Injured by the Alvia Railway Accident in Santiago de Compostela has agreed not to officially summon any public authority. The two ceremonies will be open to anyone who wants to participate, and entry will not be restricted to anyone. They understand that many political leaders “will feel obliged to attend ,” especially the religious service in the Cathedral. However, they will not officially invite any authority, as is usually done in events of this type. The reason given by APAFAS is that for the meeting in Angrois they want to create a more intimate and familiar atmosphere, reserved for those people who were directly affected by the accident (relatives, victims, volunteers...). The judicial process, in the investigation phase until September The group of victims of the accident is still waiting for the resolution of the Provincial Court of A Coruña that will allow the oral trial phase to begin.
The judge in charge of the investigation goes on vacation in July , and in August the justice system “works slower than usual.” Therefore, they hope that this first phase of instruction will not end until after the summer.The Denaes Foundation for the Defense of the Spanish Nation, chaired by Santiago Abascal, has attempted to remove a concrete block launched by the Government of Gibraltar last summer from the water of the Bay of Algeciras. The process began, according to Denaes sources, last Friday night. With a balloon system they managed to lift it and with a fishing boat drag it to the waters of a Spanish pier. This Monday morning the intention was to raise it to the surface, but Civil Guard agents have stopped the process. “They have told us that we have to wait for a judicial secretary to decide what to do with that concrete block. At the moment he is in the water on that Spanish boardwalk,” explains Santiago Abascal , leader of Denaes and Vox. Initially, the civil guards were in favor of raising the block, but their superiors have forced them to wait for a judge to decide. The objective of this action is to claim the Spanishness of those waters and defend their sovereignty. To do this, several divers, supporters of Denaes, have submerged, and to tow the block of the boat they have had the support of a local fisherman. Abascal assures that the Civil Guard has prevented the last step: loading the block into a van, although he did not want to reveal what they planned to do with the concrete cube.
