Puente reestructura la cúpula de Transportes para acelerar políticas verdes en el final de la legislatura

Puente seeks to accelerate green policies in final stretch of legislature, restructuring Transport Ministry

One of the most politically prominent socialists on the Council of Ministers, Óscar Puente, aims to put his department's machinery into high gear as the legislative term draws to a close. The political term began with a shift in the structure of the Ministry of Transport, geared towards boosting key mobility and decarbonization plans.

The government approved the merger of two of the three general secretaries of Transport on Tuesday: the general secretary of Sustainable Mobility, led by Sara Hernández del Olmo, fuses with the one of Land Transport, headed until now by Rocío Báguena Rodríguez. Hernández del Olmo, hired in January 2025 from consultancy Deloitte, takes over and becomes the third in command, after the minister and secretary of State José Antonio Santano.
