Thousands of people charge against the Government of Aragon for the management of the fires: "They were preventable and predictable"

A large demonstration took place in Jaca, Spain, where approximately 6,000 people protested against the management of wildfires by the Aragonese government. The protesters accused the administration of neglecting rural areas and failing to prevent disasters that were deemed avoidable and predictable. They demanded the resignation of three regional officials and called for a new government committed to environmental protection and public health. The demonstration also supported an indefinite strike by forest firefighters, who are demanding better working conditions, more personnel, and modern equipment. Protesters emphasized the need for preventive measures, including increased forest maintenance before summer and a stable policy approach rather than reactive firefighting. They also criticized tourism developments in the Pyrenees, such as ski resorts and cable cars, under the slogan 'The Pyrenees do not sell.' The protests followed a summer marked by extensive wildfires, evacuations, and worker accidents related to fire suppression efforts.
