Official Spanish government records continue to identify Óscar Puente as the country’s minister responsible for transport and sustainable mobility. A La Moncloa biography places him in that role from November 2023 through the present.

A government schedule set out Puente’s appearance before Congress on November 3, 2026. The listed subject of that appearance was the Urda railway accident.

Spain’s transport ministry also identifies Puente as its minister and lists a press conference about the Urda accident held on October 30, 2026. The ministry record documents his public role in the government’s response to the incident.
