Incendio en Anllarinos del Sil (León)

Overview

  • Parliament’s Diputación Permanente approved the comparecencia with PSOE, Vox, UPL–Soria ¡Ya! and the Mixed Group voting in favor, as the PP abstained.
  • Mañueco is expected to appear midweek to detail decisions on wildfire operations, resource allocation and incident command.
  • Opposition leaders accuse the president and Environment Minister Juan Carlos Suárez‑Quiñones of negligent management and demand their resignations.
  • Regional officials defend their response, cite delayed national support and argue that declaring level 3 would not by itself add more frontline teams.
  • Street demonstrations have spread to Valladolid, León, Burgos, Soria, Ponferrada and La Bañeza, including more than 1,500 protesters in Valladolid.
