The Spanish Minister of Transport, Óscar Puente, is set to appear before the Senate today, following demands from the Popular Party (PP) to address ongoing issues in the country's rail network.

The PP has criticized Puente for the persistent delays and disruptions, particularly in Madrid's Chamartín station, which they attribute to the government's mismanagement.

The minister is also expected to discuss the 'Koldo case,' involving allegations of corruption within his ministry.

Puente has previously blamed the disruptions on new train models and ongoing infrastructure improvements.

The PP, however, insists that these explanations are insufficient and has called for immediate action to resolve the widespread rail issues affecting travelers across Spain.

This Senate appearance is seen as a critical moment for Puente to defend his record and outline solutions.
