Deadly wildfires show Spain must better prepare for climate crises, says Sánchez | Spain

The Prime Minister underlined the need to “re -adjust and re -calibrate the country’s preparation and intervention capacity to solve the effects of climate emergency, who swallowed a land of 382,000 hectares in Spain and killed four people and killed four people.

Speaking during his visit to the southern-west region of Extradadura on Tuesday, Pedro Sánchez said that although the 16-day heat wave ventilated the flames was finished, the firefighters continued to fight big flames in the regions of the country, he said.

The Prime Minister said that forest fires – and last year’s disaster floods in the eastern part of Valencia – Climate emergency is a clear proof that Spain hit Spain more hard and harder every year.

According to Spain’s Carlos III Institute of Public Health, it is likely that more than 1,149 deaths between August and 18 August will be linked to Heatwave.

Sánchez said, ız We must prepare and be better equipped with mechanisms and tools in order to reduce the effects of these climate emergencies. ” “Climate emergency is getting worse every year and repeats more, and the effects of this emergency accelerate every year.”

When he spoke to people affected by fires, he said that they expect a non -ideological approach to the climate emergency that goes beyond four -year government conditions.

“For all scientific forecasts on how the climate emergency will develop, especially on the Iberian Peninsula, we see that it gets worse every year and it becomes much more difficult,” he said. “We need to re -adjust our prevention capacities and calibrate our prevention capacities.”

In order to address the climate emergency, the Prime Minister already called for a “state agreement, and said that he would summarize his plan in the beginning of next month.

“If the climatic emergency is worsening every year, we need to go beyond the legislature and transform climate emergency policies into state policies that connect all our institutions and everyone who governs,” he added.

In most self -governing regions of Spain, the response to fires is fed by familiar political arguments. The opposition accused Sánchez of making an agreement as a means of misleading the criticism of what he claimed to be to deal with the crisis.

“The state pacts do not extinguish flames or do not restore the lost,” a PP spokesman said on Monday. “People were waiting for much more than a smoke screen designed to save their reputation after they disappeared for a week.”

PP’s leader Alberto Núñez Feijóo said that the Prime Minister ignored repeated calls to send more troops to the most challenging areas and could not invest enough to prevent.

“Sánchez’s mission is not always improvisation,” he said on Tuesday.

According to the Ministry of Interior, the police in Spain have arrested 32 people since June 1 for suspicious arson, and 93 people are under investigation.

Thousands of firefighters are still fighting flames in Portugal, where forest fires demand two lives and burned by about 235,000 hectares of land.
