Vox files a complaint against Oscar Puente for reckless homicide after the train accident

Vox has filed a complaint in the Supreme Court against the Minister of Transport and Sustainable Mobility, Óscar Puente, for alleged crimes of homicide due to serious recklessness and injuries due to the train accident this Wednesday in Urda (Toledo).

In a letter collected by Europa Press, the group led by Santiago Abascal indicates that the complaint is directed against the minister "for failure to comply with his own duties of direction and control in relation to railway safety and the supervision of the attached entities, in the terms specified in the following facts and foundations."

"He is not given objective responsibility for his position or for the acts of his subordinates, but rather the omission of his personal duties of guarantee, with reservation of extension to those who are responsible," he adds.

The party emphasizes that the high court has the jurisdiction to take on the complaint for the Puente assessment, and not the court of the Toledo municipality of Orgaz, in charge of investigating the incident.

"Failure to provide an effective supervisory response"

Thus, Vox maintains that the complaint "is directed at the omission of an effective supervisory response, aimed at reviewing the risk detection and control mechanisms, the actual application of safety procedures and the implementation and monitoring of corrective measures after accidents of extraordinary severity and the repeated warnings that followed."

And he emphasizes that the action required of the minister "consisted of activating, through the competent bodies, the obtaining of sufficient technical information; demanding a documented evaluation of the deficiencies relevant to safety; promoting the appropriate controls, inspections or audits; requiring corrective plans with responsible parties and deadlines; and verifying that the agreed measures were effectively executed."
