The chair dance in Transportes, Renfe and Adif

The Spanish Ministry of Transport, along with Renfe and Adif, has undergone significant leadership changes over the past eight years, particularly under Minister Óscar Puente. This restructuring has led to a new team managing critical railway disasters, including the Adamuz and Urda incidents. Puente's appointments have sparked controversy, with accusations of undermining management capabilities and expelling experienced technicians. Key figures like José Antonio Santano and Álvaro Fernández Heredia have been brought in, while several high-ranking officials have been replaced, raising concerns about operational stability. Critics argue that these changes have negatively impacted the ministry's effectiveness, especially in light of recent tragedies that resulted in numerous fatalities.
