El PP apunta ahora a Sánchez tras la renuncia de Puente: “Le dimitiremos en las urnas”
Los populares afirman que la crisis no se cierra con la dimisión del ministro de Transportes
The Spanish conservative party, the Party of the People (PP), is now targeting Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez in response to Transport Minister Óscar Puente's resignation. They attribute Puente's decision to a mere political calculation and have pointed the finger at Sánchez instead. In a brief statement, the PP criticized Sánchez, stating that he did not resign voluntarily, but was forced out by the polls.
They demand accountability from the Socialist leader, asserting that his responsibility has not yet been fully addressed. The PP argues that the primary issue lies in who placed the infrastructures in the hands of Ábalos and later Puente. They insist that Sánchez cannot hide behind Puente and that his accountability must be cleared.
The party emphasizes that Puente's resignation is not enough, as 116 deaths demand truth, explanations, and accountability at the highest level. The Party of the People has previously warned that Puente's resignation alone would not be sufficient and now firmly states that they will "dimitiremos en las urnas" (resign in the polls) if Sánchez does not take responsibility.
