La diana económica: ¿Cómo están los servicios públicos desde que gobierna Sánchez?

Recent discussions highlight significant concerns regarding the state of public services and infrastructure in Spain under the current government. Analysts point to a troubling increase in railway accidents, with the number of incidents rising sharply from 40 in 2018 to 97 in recent months. This surge in accidents coincides with a notable decline in the maintenance of railway infrastructure, raising questions about the government's prioritization of funding and safety measures.

Critics argue that the government has misallocated resources, citing generous investments in foreign projects while neglecting domestic needs. For instance, funds have been directed towards improving train services in countries like Morocco and Uzbekistan, rather than addressing the deteriorating conditions of Spain's own railways. The lack of investment in essential safety systems, such as the outdated LZB signaling system, has further exacerbated the situation, leading to increased risks for passengers.

Moreover, the healthcare system is under strain, with a growing backlog of patients awaiting operations and long wait times for medical appointments. The judicial system also faces significant delays, with a backlog of cases that has increased by 80% since 2018. As public services deteriorate, the government is criticized for its handling of these issues, with calls for greater accountability and transparency in the management of public funds.
