## Transcript

[0:00](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/F0pTVcNhdtlz/en/atocha-audio-leak-%C3%B3scar-puente-and-adif-accountability) I dug up a quote from the now- former minister, who says, “At the time when you say there were leaks and all that.”

[0:08](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/F0pTVcNhdtlz/en/atocha-audio-leak-%C3%B3scar-puente-and-adif-accountability?t=8) But please, what are we talking about? This man is aware that there have been a series of leaks, and yet we don't know why he doesn't feel responsible.

[0:16](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/F0pTVcNhdtlz/en/atocha-audio-leak-%C3%B3scar-puente-and-adif-accountability?t=16) From the very beginning, never, at no point, has he tried or even b-bothered in the slightest to say, “Ladies and gentlemen, this is— this is a crime, we're going to go after the people responsible.” ADIF has never come forward and said, “It was our people, huh? A leak has occurred.”

[0:31](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/F0pTVcNhdtlz/en/atocha-audio-leak-%C3%B3scar-puente-and-adif-accountability?t=31) This should have been kept under some kind of chain of custody.

[0:34](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/F0pTVcNhdtlz/en/atocha-audio-leak-%C3%B3scar-puente-and-adif-accountability?t=34) And, and, and, and suddenly he's speaking, he's admitting it.

[0:37](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/F0pTVcNhdtlz/en/atocha-audio-leak-%C3%B3scar-puente-and-adif-accountability?t=37) Besides, in, uh, I think at the first press conference or the second, he was talking about the the age of the alleged colleague.

[0:42](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/F0pTVcNhdtlz/en/atocha-audio-leak-%C3%B3scar-puente-and-adif-accountability?t=42) He was talking about having spent two hours in the bathroom.

[0:45](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/F0pTVcNhdtlz/en/atocha-audio-leak-%C3%B3scar-puente-and-adif-accountability?t=45) He was talking, uh, about— Very specific details.

[0:47](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/F0pTVcNhdtlz/en/atocha-audio-leak-%C3%B3scar-puente-and-adif-accountability?t=47) I don't know, just, I don't know what else this man had left to say.

[0:50](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/F0pTVcNhdtlz/en/atocha-audio-leak-%C3%B3scar-puente-and-adif-accountability?t=50) And he keeps insisting over and over that he hasn't mentioned anyone, that he hasn't pointed anyone out, that he hasn't singled anyone out.

[0:56](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/F0pTVcNhdtlz/en/atocha-audio-leak-%C3%B3scar-puente-and-adif-accountability?t=56) We know physically how the, the audio recordings are taken out.

[0:58](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/F0pTVcNhdtlz/en/atocha-audio-leak-%C3%B3scar-puente-and-adif-accountability?t=58) That is, Óscar Puente goes to the control room— Because that's in Atocha, right?

[1:02](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/F0pTVcNhdtlz/en/atocha-audio-leak-%C3%B3scar-puente-and-adif-accountability?t=62) In Atocha. He says it at the press conference, he says: “At nine forty, I'm in the Atocha control room and I start listening to those recordings.”

[1:09](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/F0pTVcNhdtlz/en/atocha-audio-leak-%C3%B3scar-puente-and-adif-accountability?t=69) Who gives him the recordings? Where do they come from?

[1:12](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/F0pTVcNhdtlz/en/atocha-audio-leak-%C3%B3scar-puente-and-adif-accountability?t=72) That's a very good question, Carmen. I don't know.

[1:14](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/F0pTVcNhdtlz/en/atocha-audio-leak-%C3%B3scar-puente-and-adif-accountability?t=74) Uh, all I know, of course, is that, uh, the recording, that is, the, the Original voice, um, from the Atocha control room.

[1:22](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/F0pTVcNhdtlz/en/atocha-audio-leak-%C3%B3scar-puente-and-adif-accountability?t=82) And there, I don't know exactly what kind of custody or what kind of order will be followed, because I don't know if it's ADIF or a third- party company, since ADIF, for whatever reason, doesn't have the necessary infrastructure to properly safeguard those recordings. But you'll agree with me that ADIF has to answer for this.

[1:36](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/F0pTVcNhdtlz/en/atocha-audio-leak-%C3%B3scar-puente-and-adif-accountability?t=96) Or someone has to answer for it, or the minister, or the three-zero…
