Sánchez currently supports Puente despite pressure for him to resign

Despite increasing pressure for his resignation following a deadly train accident in Toledo, Spanish Transport Minister Óscar Puente retains the support of Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez. The accident, which resulted in 69 fatalities, has sparked calls for accountability, but Sánchez insists there was no management error. Puente acknowledged the tragedy and attributed it to a mistake by an Adif operator. The government is committed to transparency and reinforcing safety measures while dismissing claims of political opportunism from opposition parties.
