The Andalusian Parliament has unanimously approved a decree-law establishing financial aid for direct and indirect victims of the railway accident that occurred in Adamuz on January 18, 2026.

The amounts for these aids, which will be paid in a single installment and are exempt from the regional income tax, range from 481 to 16,828 euros. Families of the deceased will receive 14,424 euros, while individuals with physical injuries may receive up to 16,828 euros.
Political groups such as the PSOE, Por Andalucía, and Adelante Andalucía have criticized the decree for falling short by not including individuals who suffered psychological or mental health consequences. In response, the PP spokesperson in Parliament, Toni Martín, argued that these conditions are already adequately addressed by the Andalusian Health Service (SAS).
The approval took place in the Permanent Deputation of the Parliament, marking the end of the XII Legislature. Spokespersons for the PSOE and Por Andalucía expressed their disagreement with approving the decree at this time, citing the shift in parliamentary majorities following the recent elections.
The acting Minister of Justice, Local Administration, and Public Function, José Antonio Nieto, emphasized the necessity of complementing state-level aid. The deadline to apply for these subsidies will be three months after their publication in the Official Gazette of the Junta de Andalucía (BOJA).
The Andalusian Government highlights that victims continue to face significant expenses to adapt to their new circumstances, including home modifications, psychological treatments, and rehabilitation.
Vox deputy Rodrigo Alonso warned that his party will seek the truth and hold those responsible accountable, pointing to the Central Government and deeming the aid insufficient.
