Government partners point to the exit door for Puente

Government partners are signaling the exit of Minister Óscar Puente following the Urda accident, with most parties demanding his resignation. While Sumar, ERC, and PNV acknowledge Puente's accountability, they emphasize the need for systemic changes in railway management. Junts previously called for his resignation, criticizing the government's handling of the situation. Bildu abstains from demanding his departure, awaiting the investigation's findings. The PNV highlights long-standing issues in railway safety and maintenance, urging significant reforms. Calls for nationalization of the railway sector and better investment in existing infrastructure are also made, reflecting broader concerns about the current management of transport services.
