The recent breakdown of a high-speed train in Huesca has sparked a political dispute in Aragon, particularly involving the leadership of the region and the Socialist Party (PSOE). The incident occurred when a train operated by the private company Ouigo experienced a technical failure, leading to a halt on the tracks.
Óscar Puente, the President of the Aragon government, expressed strong criticism of the PSOE”s management of railway services. He stated, “The people of Aragon do not deserve such disasters, continuously suffering from breakdowns, trip cancellations, and delays.”
In response to these accusations, a representative of the PSOE quickly defended the party, asserting that it bore no responsibility for the incident. “As you can see, dear President, the train involved in the incident is an Ouigo, for which “the PSOE” has no accountability. Have a great Sunday!” Puente”s comments highlight ongoing concerns regarding the government”s handling of transportation issues, particularly in the context of frequent complaints from regular commuters about service reliability.
This exchange underscores the ongoing tensions surrounding railway management in the region, an issue that remains contentious among both politicians and the public.
