Internal source hands over daily earnings to National Police Headquarters: "Don't forget to inform the Ministry of the Interior as well"
In the heart of Spain's ongoing wildfire crisis, a heated debate unfolded on the popular television programme, 'Espejo Público' (Antena 3). The discussion focused on the role and recognition of the Forest Fire Reinforcement Brigade (Brif), with Marcos Gómez, the president of the association of Brif workers, leading the charge.
Gómez, who took over the presidency in 2023, compared the importance of discussing the Brif to that of the Military Emergency Unit (UME). His statement, delivered during the programme, was met with a wave of attention, some considering it the 'slap' of the day.
The debate highlighted the need for the Ministry of the Interior and the Ministry of Environment to acknowledge the Brif. Gómez urged the focus to be on the Brif instead of the Ministry of the Interior, a sentiment echoed by a member of the debate table.
Fernando Grande-Marlaska, the Minister of the Interior, appeared live on 'Espejo Público' and emphasised the importance of leaving discussions aside. However, he did not shy away from acknowledging the efforts of all groups involved in fighting the fires, including firefighters, UME, Civil Guard, National Police, volunteers, and everyone working 24/7 on the fires.
The programme, which dedicated its entire first part to covering the fires, also saw a surprising moment when a member of the Brif unexpectedly slapped Marlaska during the live appearance. The host, Lorena García, was present and quickly informed Marlaska about Gómez's gesture.
Mari Carmen Parra, another featured individual in the news article, also emphasised the importance of recognising all groups involved in fighting the fires. The debate concluded with a call for unity and support for those on the front lines of the wildfire crisis.
As the wildfires continue to ravage parts of Spain, the debate on 'Espejo Público' serves as a reminder of the importance of recognising and supporting the brave individuals who are working tirelessly to contain the blazes.
