The right sees Puente's resignation as insufficient while the Government partners "appreciate" the decision

Óscar Puente has resigned as Minister of Transport amid political pressure and a Supreme Court investigation. His departure was deemed necessary by various political factions, although some, like the PP and Vox, argue it is insufficient without further accountability from Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez. While the government partners acknowledged Puente's gesture, opposition leaders criticized Sánchez for his role in appointing ministers linked to past tragedies. Some left-wing politicians praised Puente's resignation as a step towards restoring trust in the railway system, while others, like ERC, refrained from commenting on the decision.
