Spanish Transport Minister Puente resigns following a deadly train crash in Urda that killed 69 people. This incident marked the second fatal train collision this year, raising questions about his leadership. Puente stated he had decided to step down immediately after the accident but remained in office to address the aftermath and implement preventive measures.
