Spain's transport minister resigns less than a week after train disaster

Six days after a train disaster in Spain, Transport Minister Oscar Puente resigns, citing political dignity and empathy for victims. He also announced he will not run in upcoming elections. The resignation follows a serious train collision near Urda, where a Renfe train collided with a stationary Iryo train. Investigations revealed that the control center allowed the Renfe train to resume travel despite warnings from the Iryo crew. The incident raised questions about safety protocols and communication failures within the railway system. Puente's decision comes after he prioritized urgent actions to address the aftermath of the tragedy.
