Bridge could not continue

Minister Óscar Puente faced criticism during a congressional session regarding the Urda disaster, leading to his resignation after failing to convince opposition and coalition partners. Despite attempts to manage the crisis through regular updates, the government's response was deemed inadequate. Prime Minister Sánchez had initially supported Puente but ultimately had to distance himself from the fallout of the railway catastrophe, especially with upcoming elections. Puente's departure does not resolve the Urda crisis but shifts the focus to Sánchez, who now faces public skepticism about railway safety. The political landscape is rapidly changing as the government navigates this challenge amidst electoral pressures.
