Spain's Transport Minister Oscar Fuente announced his resignation almost a week after the destruction of two high-speed trains in the province of Toledo. He also announced that he would not run for office in the early parliamentary elections on November 29. As you remember, on October 28, two high-speed trains collided in the Castilla-La Mancha region. As a result of the accident, 69 people died, many more were injured. This is the second major train disaster in Spain this year. In January, 46 people died when two high-speed trains collided on the same line between Madrid and Seville. The train disasters sparked a wave of criticism against current Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez.
