Sánchez takes note of Puente's claims and the underground movements over his succession

On August 29, 2026, Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez did not express significant discomfort over comments by his Transport Minister Óscar Puente regarding succession within the PSOE.

This response aims to distance Sánchez from Puente, who has touched on a sensitive topic within the party.
