Rueda expresses a receptive stance towards Sánchez's climate accord, and advocates for seeking external assistance, asserting the current moment as the appropriate time for such an appeal.
In the aftermath of the devastating forest fires in Galicia, President Alfonso Rueda has been vocal about the need for aid for those affected and the importance of addressing climate change.
A total of 380 water pumps, including those from the Xunta and municipalities, operated during the firefighting efforts. However, if any water pumps were inactive, it was because their operators needed rest, Rueda confirmed.
Rueda criticized the minimal amounts of aid allocated by the central government for material damage and deaths caused by the forest fires. He also highlighted the need for the State to focus on aid for those affected, while also acknowledging the importance of addressing the climate change issue.
The Xunta has opened a period for requesting support for those affected by the forest fires, with 132,000 euros for repairing habitual homes and 1.5 million for companies. Rueda recalled requesting the elevation of the emergency to level 3 during the April 28 blackout.
Rueda hinted that the Xunta had requested the use of European funds in the fight against climate change, but did not receive a response. He did not comment on the renewal of the Andalusian presidency of the Working Group on Climate Change in Europe.
Rueda agreed with Alberto Núñez Feijóo's stance that the State should manage emergencies if an autonomous community lacks capacity. He also praised the action of the autonomous communities during the wave of fires at level 2, as acknowledged by a minister.
In other news, provisional imprisonment was granted for three detainees on Friday in Mallorca related to a money laundering and drug trafficking scheme. No further details were provided about this case.
Montero (Podemos) asked the Government to "abandon its complicity with the genocide" in Israel, without providing specific details about the context of this statement.
Despite the bad weather, the political course in Galicia began as scheduled, with no disruptions reported. Rueda did not read the details of a proposal to create a State Agency for Civil Protection and Emergencies, but criticized it for having few concrete measures and no funding.
The Xunta was asked about the use of European funds to combat climate change on February 15, 2023, and received a response on March 30, 2023. However, Rueda did not comment on the details of this response.
