The management of Mallorca Railway Services (SFM) will present a document next week with its technical proposals for each of the 48 safety improvements proposed by the works council.

The SFM committee accuses the company and the Regional Ministry of creating confusion: "They only offer future studies"

ARA Balears — Tue, 03 Feb 2026 15:09:02 +0000

The works council of Mallorca Railway Services (SFM) has accused management and the Ministry of Housing, Territory and Mobility of giving the public messages regarding infrastructure safety that do not reflect reality. The workers' representatives have sent a letter to Minister José Luis Mateo, accompanied by a dossier detailing safety incidents collected over the last two years. The council criticized Mateo, stating that while the Ministry claims safety is guaranteed, no basic answers, written commitments, concrete agreements, or immediate improvement measures are being offered at the negotiating table. "What we are being offered, for the moment, are announcements of studies and future projects. To say that everything is under control when there are no clear protocols or a safety governance structure is simply misleading the public," they pointed out.
