Overview
- The PP group in the European Parliament, which filed the question on Friday, asks Brussels to assess possible breaches by Spain and Adif on the Madrid–Málaga high‑speed corridor.
- The direct AVE link has been closed for more than three months after the January 18 Adamuz crash that killed 46 people and a later landslide in Álora.
- Adif has postponed reopening three times, which has left the direct service suspended with passengers bused via Antequera‑Santa Ana.
- Journeys now stretch past four and a half hours on this route, drawing many user complaints during the Easter travel period, according to PP statements.
- The line is part of the EU’s TEN‑T network and drew a €350 million EIB loan in January 2025, and the PP argues that this EU backing demands answers while the Commission’s reply is pending.
