Puente believes that the resignation of the Government Delegate in Madrid is not just because of the lists: "It does not benefit him and the organization"

The Minister of Transport, Óscar Puente, expressed this Monday his "pain" for the resignation, this Sunday, of the Government delegate in the Community of Madrid, Francisco Martín, but also his annoyance at a decision that "does not benefit him or the organization", he said in relation to the PSOE, and added that he does not believe it is only because he was left off the electoral lists.

"I value the decision in personal terms with pain, because I appreciate him very much," Puente said during an informative breakfast in Madrid, where he also explained that Martín called him before announcing his decision to resign "to transfer it to me personally because we have a good relationship."

Beyond the personal, the minister has "regretted" both the decision and "the moment", because "it does not benefit either him or the organization."

"In terms of lists, everyone in an organization is subject to decisions made by the organization, which sometimes we like and other times we don't. We have to follow what the organization decides, we cannot get angry," said Puente, regarding Martín's resignation for having been left out of Madrid's candidacies for Congress and the Senate for the November 29 elections.

"I understand that there must be other reasons, not just that, and I am very sorry because I truly appreciate it," he reiterated.
