Óscar Puente's resignation is seen as a political maneuver ahead of elections, following a tragedy that resulted in numerous fatalities. Despite initial support for him, the government faced pressure to act. The decision to resign appears to be influenced by electoral considerations rather than genuine accountability. Critics argue that the government's focus on blaming external factors for railway issues distracts from its own management failures.

Puente's departure also raises questions about succession within Sánchez's administration, as he was a prominent defender of the government.
