西班牙交通大臣因列车事故辞职：桑切斯任命副首相奎尔波代理至大选
西班牙首相桑切斯（Pedro Sanchez）11月4日宣布，副首相兼经济部长奎尔波（Carlos Cuerpo）将代理交通与可持续出行部，直至11月29日大选。此前，交通大臣普恩特（Oscar Puente）因今年两起高铁事故辞职，两起事故共造成115人死亡。
桑切斯在蒙克洛亚宫的电视讲话中赞扬普恩特主动担责、维护公众对铁路系统的信心，并称奎尔波在本届政府中展现了管理能力与正直。普恩特在议会监督机构接受四小时质询后于周二晚宣布辞职，并表示不参加11月29日选举。
辞职令执政的社会党在大选竞选期间失去一位重要人物。桑切斯此前已承诺尽快恢复公众对高铁的信任，并为10月底托莱多附近乌尔达事故的受害者通过援助法令。西班牙看守议会与各党均要求彻查事故原因。

Spain's Transport Minister Quits Over Train Crashes: Sanchez Puts Deputy Cuerpo in Interim Charge
Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez announced on November 4 that his deputy, Economy Minister Carlos Cuerpo, will provisionally run the Transport and Sustainable Mobility Ministry until the November 29 elections, following the resignation of Oscar Puente over two deadly high-speed train crashes this year that killed 115 people combined.
Speaking at Moncloa Palace, Sanchez praised Puente for taking political responsibility and helping restore confidence in the rail system, and said Cuerpo had shown enormous capacity for management and integrity. Puente announced his resignation on Tuesday night after a four-hour grilling by a caretaker parliament body, and said he will not stand in the November 29 election.
The departure leaves the ruling Socialists fighting the campaign without one of their most combative voices. Sanchez had earlier pledged to restore confidence in high-speed rail and to approve an aid decree for victims of the late-October Urda crash near Toledo.
