Vox calls Óscar Puente a “criminal”: “We know you are not going to resign. That is why we have to fire you”

The general secretary of the Vox parliamentary group in Congress, José María Figaredo, has indicated in statements to the media in Barcelona that the train accident in Urda (Toledo) shows that the State is “incapable of managing the well-being of the Spanish people.” “We have services, infrastructure and a State network that do not work and fail more and more,” he expressed. Figaredo has blamed the Executive for the accident and has said that the Minister of Transport, Óscar Puente, is “a criminal who should be brought to justice.”

Figaredo's words come after Santiago Abascal's rally in Ávila this Thursday, where he demanded the resignation of Pedro Sánchez and “Óscar Muerte” and asked that justice be done and responsibilities be purged for the death of at least 69 people in the train accident in Toledo. This Friday, Figaredo said that the resignation “is the least important thing.” "The problem is criminal responsibility. And it is the Government, not Óscar Puente," he stated after meeting with businessmen in Barcelona, ​​where he accused the Executive of hiding "behind a worker to evade its responsibility."

"The first thing he did as soon as he became aware of it was celebrate Lula's victory on Twitter. The second, he attacked the workers by filtering interested audios. A week before, he was dancing and making jokes about the lamentable state of the roads. We already know that you are not going to resign. That is why we have to fire you," wrote the official Vox account on the X social network.
