Puente, el sustituto de Ábalos que sonaba como relevo de Sánchez al frente del PSOE
El ya exministro de Transportes llegó al Ministerio hace tres años para sustituir al condenado José Luis Ábalos y se situó como uno de los políticos más agresivos contra la oposición. Leer
Former Transport Minister Óscar Puente, who succeeded José Luis Ábalos, who is currently in prison for corruption, has announced his resignation from the position. Puente's decision comes after several days of pressure from parliamentary groups and those affected by the recent tragic high-speed train accident in Urda, Toledo. He claimed his resignation is due to a need for "political dignity, coherence, and empathy towards the victims," as well as a desire to meet the expectations of both his party and those who came before him.
Puente, appointed in November 2023 as a replacement for Ábalos, was one of the most aggressive politicians against the opposition, often clashing with political rivals in the parliament and on social media.
