Mayors who faced the worst fire in history call on Sánchez and Feijóo for a pact: Take off your party shirts now

Four mayors who led their towns during one of the worst wildfires in Spanish history are calling on Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez of the PSOE and opposition leader Alberto Núñez Feijóo of the PP to set aside political differences and form a national agreement. The mayors, representing communities severely affected by the Burgohondo fire in Ávila and other incidents, argue that the current political divide is hindering effective responses to the crisis. They urge both parties to prioritize the needs of their constituents over partisan interests, emphasizing the urgency of collaboration to prevent future disasters. Vanessa Muñoz, a socialist mayor from Casavieja, expressed frustration with the political stalemate, stating that if leaders do not act together, the affected regions may face further devastation.

The PSOE accuses Núñez of promising solutions against the occupation on which he has no competence

The PSOE's regional secretary, Sergio Gutiérrez, accused PP president Paco Núñez of proposing measures against illegal housing occupation in areas where, according to Gutiérrez, the state holds authority. This comes after Núñez announced plans to revive a 2020 PP bill aimed at combating illegal occupation in regional parliament. The issue involves jurisdictional responsibilities between regional governments and the national state.
