The Permanent Deputation turns against the Government: an absolute majority demands Puente's resignation

The Urda accident has led to political turmoil, with calls for the resignation of Transport Minister Óscar Puente. The government plans to approve aid for the victims while facing opposition demands for accountability. A significant majority in the Permanent Deputation believes political responsibility must be taken, especially after the tragedy resulted in numerous fatalities. Various parties, including PP, Vox, and Sumar, have explicitly called for Puente's resignation, citing failures in railway maintenance and safety. The situation has intensified with accusations against the government regarding negligence and mismanagement of the railway system. The upcoming session will likely see heated debates over these issues.
