Santo Domingo.- Dominican President Luis Abinader expressed condolences to the families of those killed in a train accident Wednesday in Toledo, Spain, which left at least 68 people dead and dozens injured.
In a message posted on social media, Abinader conveyed, on behalf of the Dominican government and people, his solidarity with Spain and offered his deepest condolences to the victims’ families. He also wished a full and speedy recovery to those injured.
