First complaint against Óscar Puente before the Supreme Court Prosecutor's Office for disclosing conversations between the Adif control center and the train drivers
Óscar Puente, Spain's Transport Minister, faced backlash after revealing details about the Urda train accident, leading to a complaint from the Alferro union for alleged disclosure of confidential information. The union argues that Puente's comments may violate legal confidentiality obligations regarding ongoing investigations. The accident, which resulted in 69 fatalities, involved a malfunctioning safety system and questionable decisions made by control center personnel. Alferro's complaint highlights concerns over the handling of sensitive information during judicial inquiries. Other unions have also taken legal action, but Alferro's is the first directly targeting the minister. The case raises questions about accountability in railway safety management.
