Mejías criticised the government over the incident, saying the derailment was "a direct consequence of the government’s negligence" and citing "years of lack of investment, maintenance, and oversight".
"The insecurity in Spanish railways is a matter of political responsibility," she added. "And we are going to demand it."
Authorities have not yet released an official cause of the derailment. Emergency services remain at the scene as investigations continue.
