Bankruptcy between the two partners of the coalition government. Ada Colau, the leader of the political space heir to Sumar, takes the final step and demands the "resignation" of the Minister of Transport, Óscar Puente, for his "political responsibility" in the distrust of citizens in the Spanish railway system after the tragic high-speed accidents in Adamuz and now in Urda with 115 dead and dozens injured.
The Frente Amplio candidate has stressed that the situation is "unassuming" and that, for this reason, she has sent this morning "to Moncloa", and therefore to Pedro Sánchez, "the request for the resignation of Minister Óscar Puente." "Because we believe that beyond the technical failures and audits that may be carried out, the minister does have a political responsibility," Colau stressed.
For the leader of the Broad Front, the assumption of "political responsibilities" with the departure of Puente from the Government is "essential." "We are not going to get into the frivolity of whether this resignation has to take place today, tomorrow or the day after, but we have conveyed to Moncloa that this resignation has to take place as soon as possible," he stressed.
In a statement to journalists, Colau explained that Puente's march "is essential to be able to rebuild the trust" of Spaniards in the Spanish railway system, since "it is unacceptable that two tragedies have occurred in such a short time" and on the same line that connects Madrid and Andalusia.
