Police Charge Protesters Demanding Minister’s Resignation After Deadly Train Crash

Madrid, Spain – Police charged demonstrators outside the Ministry of Transport on Wednesday night as hundreds gathered to demand the resignation of Transport Minister Óscar Puente following a high-speed train collision that killed at least 68 people.

X user DanDoLaNota, who filmed the protest on 28 October, captured the confrontation as demonstrators carrying Spanish flags and anti-government banners faced lines of Policía Nacional officers in protective gear. Protesters chanted slogans against Puente, calling him a “minister of death” and a “murderer.”
