El Partido Popular considera insuficiente la dimisión del ministro de Transportes Óscar Puente y exige responsabilidades al presidente Pedro Sánchez por la gestión del transporte ferroviario, citando 116 fallecidos.
El Partido Popular echa por tierra la dimisión del ministro de Transportes, Óscar Puente, atribuyéndola al mero cálculo político, y apunta ahora al presidente de Gobierno, Pedro Sánchez. “No ha dimitido él, le ha dimitido Tezanos. No se va por las víctimas ni por dignidad, sino por las encuestas”, ha reaccionado el PP a la renuncia de Puente en un breve comunicado. “No va a colar. El principal problema está en quién puso las infraestructuras en manos de Ábalos, primero, y de Puente después. La responsabilidad no se delega y Pedro Sánchez no puede esconderse detrás de Óscar Puente. Su responsabilidad todavía no ha sido depurada, pero le dimitiremos en las urnas. 116 fallecidos exigen verdad, explicaciones y responsabilidades al más alto nivel”, subrayan en la dirección del Partido Popular, donde ya habían anticipado que con la dimisión de Puente no sería suficiente.
“Ni la salida ahora de Puente ni la de Sánchez después del 29-N nos harán olvidar lo más importante, que es saber qué ha pasado y qué hay que hacer para recuperar la seguridad perdida en el transporte ferroviario. La crisis se cerrará cuando haya explicaciones suficientes, responsabilidades completas y garantías de que no volverá a repetirse”, inciden en Génova.
