Galicia and 13 PP-Governed Regions Boycott Climate Emergency Summit in Ponferrada

They argue the national plan lacks measurable targets and clear financing.

Overview

  • The meeting is scheduled for Monday in Ponferrada to advance the Pacto por la Emergencia Climática.
  • The 14 PP-governed regions sent a letter to Third Vice President Sara Aagesen detailing objections and conditions for engagement.
  • They describe the government's framework as insufficient, unilateral and misaligned with Spain's distribution of powers.
  • Their demands include measurable targets, transparent, stable earmarked funding and a multiyear investment program for national firefighting resources and coordination.
  • They also propose reforming the Ley de Montes, approving a National Water Plan to prevent floods, modernizing Civil Protection and supporting agriculture, livestock and forest management as prevention tools, and Galicia's Ángeles Vázquez says they want a prior working session to craft a budgeted plan.
