Sánchez claims Puente's resignation after "showing his face": "It shows that we are not all the same"
"Forgive me for not being able to say it, neither the President nor my team knew," the minister excused himself to the PSOE deputies while the Government and party leadership lavished praise on his gesture and his career.
Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez was not informed of Óscar Puente's resignation as Transport Minister until minutes before it was announced. Puente stepped down at the end of a Congress appearance regarding the Urda railway accident. Sánchez praised Puente, saying he showed dignity and willingness by resigning, out of respect for the victims and the progressive project. Sánchez concluded that Puente's example dignifies Spain and shows that not everyone is the same.
