The majority of the Permanent Deputation of Congress demands the resignation of Puente over the Urda accident

The majority of the Permanent Deputation of Congress demands the resignation of Minister Óscar Puente following the Urda accident. Opposition parties, including PP, Vox, Junts, and PNV, are united in calling for accountability, asserting that Puente's resignation is necessary but not sufficient. Alberto Núñez Feijóo, leader of the opposition, emphasizes that the crisis cannot be resolved solely with Puente's departure. The PNV and Junts also echo this sentiment, insisting on immediate resignation due to perceived mismanagement. Despite the pressure, the government maintains that Puente is essential for navigating the crisis. The upcoming Congress session is expected to be contentious, with Puente defending his actions against past government responses to similar incidents.
