Clean Slate and New Body

Pedro Sánchez and Carlos Cuerpo are navigating political challenges following the resignation of Óscar Puente after the Urda train tragedy. Puente's departure, framed as a move for political dignity, allows Sánchez to reposition himself and the PSOE. Cuerpo, the new vice president, is seen as a stabilizing figure, immune to attacks from the opposition. The PSOE aims to regain voter trust while the PP struggles to connect Sánchez with the tragedy. The political landscape is shifting as Sánchez seeks to leverage Puente's resignation to bolster his image ahead of upcoming elections.
