PSOE maintains tension with Ayuso over fire management: "She is the first to shoot"
The Spanish Socialist Workers' Party (PSOE) has continued its political confrontation with Madrid regional president Isabel Díaz Ayuso over the management of wildfires, accusing her of using inflammatory rhetoric. During a meeting of the PSOE's federal executive, spokesperson Montse Munguía criticized Ayuso for calling Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez derogatory names, stating that she is 'the first to fire.' The PSOE emphasized the need for collaboration between administrations during the ongoing crisis, which has affected Toledo, Ávila, and Madrid, leaving over 83,000 hectares burned and 75,000 evacuated. Other PSOE ministers, including Transport Minister Íñigo Puente and Transformation Digital Minister Óscar López, have also publicly criticized Ayuso, with Puente referring to her as 'mamarracha' on social media. Ayuso responded by warning against those who 'heat up the atmosphere,' directly addressing critics like Puente.
