Spanish rail infrastructure chief steps down after Toledo train crash

Luis Pedro Marco de la Peña has resigned as president of Adif, Spain's rail infrastructure authority, following a tragic train crash that resulted in 69 fatalities. His resignation comes amid heightened scrutiny of Adif's operations. This decision is the first significant move by the new transport minister, Carlos Cuerpo, after the previous minister, Oscar Puente, resigned under pressure from Congress. Puente's departure followed a lengthy hearing where calls for his resignation were made by both supporters and critics.
