Not investment advice. Muhabbit scores how much a story may matter, not which way to trade.

Spanish Transport Minister Oscar Puente resigned Tuesday evening after days of insisting he would stay on, following a deadly train crash. Puente had faced mounting pressure over the accident, though the article did not specify casualty figures or the crash's location. His departure removes the official overseeing Spain's rail network at a sensitive moment for transport policy. The resignation marks a reversal for Puente, who had publicly denied any intention to leave the government. What to watch next: who replaces him and whether the crash prompts wider scrutiny of rail safety oversight.
