The Basque Parliament is joining the official mourning for the victims of the railway accident in Urda, a municipality in the province of Toledo. The institution has decided to take part in this tribute to remember the people who died in the tragedy.
As a sign of mourning, the Parliament will keep its flags at half-mast until Saturday. This gesture is a traditional way of expressing respect and grief for the victims, and it is used in Spain when an official mourning period is declared.
Official mourning is a measure that allows public institutions to express their condolences for a tragedy and to stand alongside the affected families. With this decision, the Basque Parliament shares the sorrow felt by other institutions across the country.
The news shows the solidarity of Basque institutions with the families of the victims of the Urda accident. For the time being, the Parliament has not given further details about other tribute activities.
