Spanish Transport Minister resigns citing the example of Jorge Coelho

Spanish Transport Minister Óscar Puente resigned, citing political dignity and referencing former Portuguese minister Jorge Coelho. He stated that a minister cannot remain in office after two serious accidents within a year. Puente emphasized the need for coherence and empathy towards victims, declaring his decision was made immediately after learning of the recent train collision in Urda, Toledo, which involved over 500 passengers and resulted in multiple injuries. He will not run in the upcoming elections, aiming to uphold the values of his party and predecessors.
