The Minister of Transport and Sustainable Mobility, Oscar Puentesat on Sunday in the authorities’ box at the Santiago Bernabéu stadium to watch Real Madrid play against Valladolid. It was Kylian Mbappé’s first match at the Chamartín Coliseum, an event that the politician did not want to miss. It was the perfect opportunity to forget, at least for a while, all the controversies that he has been involved in lately.
Being a great fan of Real Valladolid, the former mayor of the capital of Castilla y León between 2015 and 2023 sat next to Florentino Pérez to watch how the team pucelano ended up giving in to a Real Madrid that won with three goals in the second half.
Puente has been in the eye of the storm for various reasons in recent weeks. The politician appeared in the Senate after a few days of vacation and said that Renfe was working well and that the criticisms about the railway incidents were part of a strategy to wear down the Popular Party. He said that these were false arguments and added that the only thing missing was for the ‘popular’ to have said that the trains “They worked better under Franco”Since May 21, at least 480 incidents have been recorded on the railway network.
His controversy with Risto Mejide
On the other hand, the PSOE politician also made headlines last Wednesday for refusing to be interviewed on Everything is a lie. His communications team responded sharply to an editor of Risto Mejide, and he read the alleged message on the set: “Damn, you call every day. I’ve already told you that this is an issue that I have to look into carefully and now I’m not going to do it.”.
A day later, Mejide spoke again: “It doesn’t cost me anything to rectify, despite the image I have of a cocky and arrogant guy, which I am.”said the presenter. “But It’s going to be very difficult to rectify a WhatsApp conversation, because I have never said that it is a WhatsApp conversation.“It was a telephone conversation that we did not record, but we have the other protagonist of the conversation (the editor),” the journalist continued.
Against Antonio Rossi
A few days ago, Puente also made headlines for joining in the criticism and jibes against Antonio Rossi’s wedding after marrying Hugo Fuertes. There are those who attack the journalist for sympathising with the right when the PP was the party that was against gay marriage, even appealing its approval to the Constitutional Court. “Rights are like that, they are won even for those who oppose them, even if they then exercise them when they can.”he wrote on his social networks.
