💼 Minister

Transport Minister Óscar Puente is appearing before Congress today to address the ongoing rail crisis, including the recent Urda train accident. This comes amid new revelations that the Atocha control center apologized to a train driver for a mistaken order that nearly caused a collision. All 69 victims of the Urda crash have now been identified, and the bus driver involved is set to face trial. A new political controversy has emerged with reports that the Ministry of the Interior has been receiving daily postal vote data, which critics suggest provides a decisive advantage to the PSOE in its campaign. In response, the People's Party is intensifying its pre-campaign efforts with a tougher stance against the government, anticipating a significant vote transfer from the PSOE. The government has also stated its opposition to a law that would grant voting rights to Franco descendants. In other news, Tenerife footballer Jesús de Miguel has tragically died after suffering a cardiac arrest following an on-field collision. Meanwhile, the leader of the Bloccus group was reportedly in Paris before organizing riots in Spain, leading to the arrest of two minors in Barcelona. Police also cleared an overnight encampment in Sol square, arresting two individuals and evicting 334.
