The Minister of Transport and Sustainable Mobility, Oscar Bridgedismissed the president of ADIF, Angel Contreraswith the aim of “promoting the management of the company”. A brutal termination that comes a few hours after a new collapse of the country’s railway network. Hundreds of people have been affected by a new incident in the signaling of the Atocha station, which depends on Adif. These types of problems have been one of the issues that have most strained the department led by Puente.
Contreras had been in power for less than a year. With the arrival of Puente to the ministry, at the end of 2024, the president of the Adif, now dismissed, replaced the former president in office, Maria Luisa Dominguez.
The dismissal comes after several dismissals carried out by the minister in recent months due to the audit linked to the “Koldo case”, although the ministry stresses that the dismissal of the president has nothing to do with this.
The extension will continue
