Getafe's 18-year-old player Davinchi has publicly demanded justice for his father's death in the Adamuz rail accident eight months ago. The young footballer rejected any form of compensation and called for the resignation of Transport Minister Óscar Puente, whom he labelled an "assassin".
The tragedy remains unresolved for many families. David Cordón, the player's father, was returning to Andalusia after accompanying his son to a match in Madrid. A subsequent investigation identified a "fracture localised in a weld joining two tracks of different ages" as a key anomaly.
A forceful message
Through his social media, Davinchi issued a stern message aimed at the authorities. "8 months already since that fateful accident for so many families and still no justice is done," the player wrote. "Money is no use to us, nor empty words without real consequences. We want justice."
The footballer continued his reproach: "Admit once and for all the numerous mistakes you have made and the families you have destroyed." Davinchi closed his post with a direct request: "Resign now, assassin Óscar Puente."
Sporting context
While dealing with this difficult personal moment, Davinchi is part of a Getafe squad sitting 11th in La Liga, with 8 points from seven games. The Madrid-based team is coming off an inconsistent run of form in their last five matches, with one win, two draws, and two defeats. Their last outing was a 1-0 victory over Malaga at the Coliseum Alfonso Pérez, with Iván Azón scoring in the 85th minute.
The next fixture for the side is one of the toughest challenges on the calendar: a trip to the Camp Nou to face leaders Barcelona on October 10. Fans can check the full schedule on our fixtures page and the updated league table on standings.
The club has not officially commented on the statements from its academy product, whose focus is now split between demanding accountability for the family tragedy and his commitment to the team. Getafe faces a week of preparation ahead of the trip to Catalonia, with morale boosted by the recent league win.
