The Civil Guard is investigating a Vox mayor as presumed responsible for the fire in Guadalajara

The Spanish National Police (Guardia Civil) are investigating Rubén Marchamalo, the mayor of Robledillo de Mohernando and a member of the Vox party, as a 'presumed responsible' for a wildfire that has already destroyed 2,000 hectares in the Sierra Norte de Guadalajara region. The investigation comes after Marchamalo participated in a recent protest against restrictions imposed by the regional government of Castilla-La Mancha on agricultural harvesting during high-risk fire conditions. Farmers' associations support Marchamalo, arguing that the restrictions are unfair and could hinder their work. They demand the removal of the regional fire propagation index (IPP) used to regulate outdoor activities during fire risks. Regional authorities defend the index, stating it protects both people and natural areas like the Sierra Norte de Guadalajara Natural Park. Over 260 residents have been evacuated due to the fire, with some relocated to temporary shelters.

A Vox mayor is being investigated as a suspect in the La Mierla fire in Guadalajara

The Guardia Civil in Guadalajara has launched an investigation into an agricultural worker suspected of causing a wildfire in La Mierla, which has burned 2,000 hectares. The suspect is identified as Rubén Marchamalo, mayor of Robledillo de Mohernando and a member of Vox. Marchamalo claims he was acting legally, having obtained all necessary permits and taking additional safety measures despite the high fire risk level. According to regional regulations, during periods of very high fire risk (orange level), agricultural work is restricted between 14:00 and 17:00 hours unless specific equipment is used. The incident was detected at 13:55 by a forest guard. The APAG association has defended the farmer, stating that the work was conducted under legal conditions and that the land should have been harvested earlier.

Bias read (Center): While the article identifies the suspect as a Vox mayor, it presents both his defense and the regulatory framework surrounding agricultural activities during high-risk periods. The tone remains objective, citing official sources and expert opinions without overtly favoring either side. The focus is,
