Puente steps aside to try to save the PSOE campaign despite Sánchez's support for his management
The president had been hoping that he would continue until the elections but he decided to surprisingly announce his withdrawal without prior notice. Several ministers believe this could revive the left.
Óscar Puente has resigned from politics to help save the PSOE's campaign. His decision comes after two fatal high-speed train accidents in nine months. Puente stated that "nobody is bigger than their organization" and that his "ego has never been greater than my party". This move is seen as an attempt to salvage the PSOE's campaign.
