The Minister of Transport, Óscar Puente, assured this Tuesday that "neither inside nor outside" the Council of Ministers "no Sumar colleague has asked for my resignation", and added that, far from receiving reproaches, "there have been signs of affection that I appreciate".
Puente thus responded to questions about his continuity in office, in a context marked by the political debate opened after the accidents, and placed the discussion in the realm of public responsibility and the different ways in which it should be examined.
"Political responsibility must be analyzed from three vectors"
Asked again about his resignation, the head of Transport explained that he is open to "giving rise to debate" in his appearance this afternoon in Congress, and defended that political responsibility should be analyzed from "three vectors: from action, omission and response".
Furthermore, in response to another question about his resignation, the minister opened up to "giving rise to debate" in the Permanent Commission, within the framework of the same reflection on political responsibility.
"We are going to move in that area this afternoon," Puente said, before insisting that he hopes the debate will be useful and constructive, although he acknowledged his doubts about the outcome. "I hope it will be constructive, I don't know if I'm a bit naive," he stated.
