  "summary": "Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez named a temporary replacement for transport minister Oscar Puente on Wednesday. Puente resigned following a train collision near Urda, south of Madrid, which killed at least 69 people and left dozens injured.\n\nAccording to the Daily Post Nigeria, Puente announced his resignation on Tuesday evening after facing scrutiny from lawmakers regarding the October 28 crash. He stated that his continued presence in government was untenable due to the frequency of recent tragedies, noting that a minister cannot remain in office after two accidents of such seriousness in less than a year. He was referring to a January accident on the same line that reportedly killed 46 people. In addition to stepping down as minister, Puente announced he is withdrawing his name from candidate lists for the upcoming early legislative elections.",
