Marlaska accuses the People's Party of wanting to "mask its mistakes" in the fires like Mazón and the DANA.

MadridThe fires continue in the northwest of the peninsula, as well as the appearances of ministers in the Senate, like the one this Thursday from the Minister of the Interior, Fernando Grande-Marlaska, explicit when describing the attitude of the PP. "I cannot agree with the partisan use of a catastrophe by the Senate to serve the interests of a party and its strategy of harassment in the Spanish government, based on manipulation and noise. We saw it with the DANA and we see it now with the fires: the attempt by the PP, and it's hard to say, but it has to be said, but it has to be said, but it has to be said, but it has to be said, but it has to be said, but it has to be said, and it masks the errors of its management," he said just as he began his intervention.

The fact that the autonomous communities have the powers over prevention and extinction means that in these sessions two clearly differentiated blocs emerge: on the one hand, the plurinational majority that the PP points to for the disaster and, on the other, the PP and Vox, who attack the Spanish government. The far right also takes advantage of the situation to give a speech in favor of eliminating the autonomous state. "They are arsonists of democracy and hooligans of politics," said Más Madrid senator Carla Antonelli. Republican Joan Queralt has denounced a "Trumpist PP" that even "saves burned hectares" in Galicia - there is a jumble of figures between those provided by Copernicus and those recognized by the Xunta -, and the PNV has accused the denialist discourse.

Conservative representative Luis Santamaría has lamented the "moral superiority" of the PSOE allies and has uttered some phrases with a television and radio vocation against sanchismo, which he defines as "a vulgar form of Peronism born of that." that maintains Civil Protection units under its command with precarious means and that has not developed certain regulations in this area. He also reproached him for the continuity of the director of Civil Protection, Virginia Barcones, whom he accused of "institutional disloyalty" for having pointed out the poor management of the PP regional presidents. The electoral process is what worries them," he complained Santamaría, who recalled that all the PSOE's attacks are aimed at Alfonso Fernández Mañueco because Castile and León is where the first elections will be held in early 2026. Marlaska has boasted about the increased budget for the emergency units of the Civil Guard and the National Police. He also criticized the requests for assistance made by the autonomous communities for the fires. "Do you know how many the Regional Government has? Two. This is anything but serious in the request for cooperation. It is necessary to request adequate and necessary resources. That said, they have been made available," Marlaska stressed. Furthermore, he made it clear that fire prevention cannot be solved by placing telematic bracelets for arsonists.

At the same time, Felipe VI continues his visit to the areas affected by the fires. After visiting Castile and León on Wednesday, he traveled to Galicia on Thursday. Accompanied by the Minister for Ecological Transition and the Democratic Challenge, Sara Aagesen, and the President of the Xunta (regional government), Alfonso Rueda, he addressed the emergency teams working at the coordination center for the 14th forestry district of Verín, in Ourense, as well as local mayors. He also visited a livestock farm and its owners affected by the fires, and, in Medeiros, with local residents.
