Getafe footballer Davinchi has publicly demanded the resignation of Transport Minister Óscar Puente, calling him an 'assassin' in a powerful Instagram post. The 18-year-old left-back lost his father, David Cordón, in the Adamuz train crash on January 18, a tragedy that claimed 46 lives and left 152 injured.
David Cordón had travelled to Madrid to watch his son play for Getafe against Valencia just before the accident. The club issued a statement at the time mourning his loss. Eight months on, Davinchi has erupted against the political figure he holds responsible. "It has already been 8 months since that fateful accident for so many families and still there is no justice," the player wrote. "Money and empty words without real consequences are not enough for us. We want justice.".
The investigation continues
The judicial process remains in the instruction and technical expert phase at the Court of First Instance and Instruction in Montoro. A Guardia Civil report from September noted a localised fracture in a weld joining track sections of different ages. This document has been submitted to the investigating judge, but definitive conclusions on possible infrastructure failures or omissions, and any resulting responsibilities, are not expected before the first quarter of 2027.
Mario Samper, president of the Adamuz Accident Victims Association, backed the footballer's demand. "We told Puente he should resign and he told us he hadn't welded the rail. We were stunned," Samper stated. Many of the affected families have repeatedly called for the minister's resignation.
Sporting context
Davinchi's professional life continues at Getafe, who sit 11th in La Liga with 8 points from seven games. The team is coming off an inconsistent run of form, with one win, two draws and two defeats in their last five matches. Their next fixture is one of the toughest of the season: a trip to the Camp Nou to face leaders Barcelona on October 10.
