Spain's Transport Minister Resigns After Deadly Train Crash and Safety Measures Announced
Spain's Transport Minister Oscar Puente resigned following a train crash that killed 69 people, one of Europe's deadliest rail disasters this century. While Puente initially pledged to restore confidence in the high-speed rail network, reports differ on his response, with some sources stating he resigned and others noting he planned to face lawmakers and implement safety measures. The government announced aid for victims and proposed new safety protocols, including speed limits and faster rollout of European rail safety systems, after a signalling failure was identified as a cause.
