Feijóo criticizes that Sánchez chose Ábalos and Puente to head "the ministry of security" and promises a "railway audit"

The leader of the PP, Alberto Núñez Feijóo, has stated that it is "audacity" that the President of the Government, Pedro Sánchez, chose two figures such as José Luis Ábalos and Óscar Puente for "the ministry of security" and has stated that the train accident in Urda is the result of "continued negligence" of the Executive.

In an interview on Telecinco, Feijóo stated that the Ministry of Transport is "the state ministry of security" because it includes railway, road, airport and maritime security and that therefore "an enormous technical qualification is needed to be able to manage" all the infrastructures.

Puente, Feijóo said, the more statements he makes, the more uneasy it becomes and Ábalos is in jail, but the problem does not end there, he added, since there are six senior Public Works officials who are in a summary for corruption in public works. "We are in a situation of reserved prognosis in terms of infrastructure. We have been experiencing continuous negligence for eight years," added Feijóo, who added that Puente should have resigned a long time ago. "The Government has abandoned the principle of basic quality of operation of public services," he stated.

The PP candidate for the presidency in the general elections of 29N has added that Spain is in a "critical" situation because there is "a loss of confidence in our railway system" and has criticized that Sánchez has not attended to the different incidents that the train drivers have reported for years, nor the complaints from the monitoring center in Atocha due to work overload.

If he reaches Moncloa, Feijóo has said that he will look for someone "honest" as minister, who has competence in the matter and experience and rigor in public management. The popular candidate added that what the country needs is a government that governs and manages so that the country works again.

"This involves, first, competence, then experience and a lot of management," he added. The president of the PP has stated that in the polls the PP is going "from less to more" and that he is convinced that at the polls "there will be a better result."
