Óscar Puente made this clarification after the leader of the PP, Alberto Núñez Feijóo, criticized him for the lack of definition regarding the structure's ownership. The Minister detailed that since the concession for the AP-7 motorway expired, the wall had received two basic inspections, in May 2023 and August 2024, and one superior inspection in February 2025.
“"No significant incident that denotes any risk had been detected."
Puente's appearance at the Ministry also served to defend Adif's inspection actions in the section where the Adamuz accident occurred. The Minister responded point by point to all the questions raised by Feijóo, whom he accused of validating "hoaxes."
Regarding the Adamuz accident, Puente adopted the investigation commission's thesis, which suggests the main hypothesis is that the track was already fractured before the Iryo train passed. He noted that the last preceding train, at 7:09 p.m., registered instability values above normal but did not reach the programmed alert levels for the system to trigger.
