Spain's transport minister Oscar Puente has announced his resignation after a high-speed train crash that killed 69 people, according to Daryo and Report.
Two high-speed trains collided in the province of Toledo. Puente said he could not remain in office after the disaster.
Why it matters: a minister resigning over a rail disaster is accountability working at full speed, and it puts Spain's rail safety system under a scrutiny that will reach far beyond one resignation. For countries investing heavily in high-speed rail, including Turkiye, the lessons of Toledo will be studied closely.
