Sánchez entrusts the Body with the management of Transport to provide "confidence, security, and certainty"

Pedro Sánchez has appointed Carlos Cuerpo to manage the Transport Ministry following Óscar Puente's resignation, aiming to restore confidence in high-speed rail after recent accidents. Cuerpo, who is also the Minister of Economy, is seen as a technical figure to address public concerns about safety. Sánchez emphasized the need for trust and security in the rail system, especially after the tragic incident in Urda. The decision to consolidate responsibilities rather than appoint a new minister reflects a cautious approach ahead of the upcoming elections. Sánchez praised Puente's efforts and integrity, framing his resignation as a step towards restoring political dignity and public trust in the railway system.
