The Government supports Puente's continuity: "He is doing what a political leader should do"

The Catalan Government supports the continuity of Transport Minister Óscar Puente following the Urda train accident, emphasizing his responsibilities in addressing the crisis. Spokesperson Sílvia Paneque stated that Puente is fulfilling his duties by attending to victims, initiating an investigation, and providing transparent information. While she refrained from commenting on his potential resignation, she highlighted the importance of clarifying the facts through the investigation. The Government also addressed concerns regarding the possible interruption of the AVE service between Barcelona and Madrid during upcoming works, framing Puente's comments as a reflection rather than a definitive decision.
