Spanish Transport Minister Óscar Puente will appear before the Congress Permanent Deputation on Tuesday to explain the Urda train accident, which has killed 69 people. Puente's appearance comes after opposition parties Sumar, Podemos, and ERC requested his presence. The minister has previously stated that he will not step down, despite calls for his resignation, and has emphasized that he will cooperate with the investigation.
The accident occurred on October 28, and Puente has given two press conferences on the matter, in which he stated that the cause of the accident may have been a failure in the Adif control center.
