Overview

• Alberto Núñez Feijóo unveiled and filed in Congress a 50-measure plan covering prevention, emergency response, and fiscal and recovery aid for rural and forested areas.
• The proposal’s flagship measure creates a national registry of convicted arsonists and requires court-ordered telematic bracelets, especially in high-risk months, to geolocate them and trigger alerts near forest zones.
• Because the devices restrict freedom of movement, each bracelet would need an individual judicial order, mirroring the legal safeguards used in gender-violence monitoring.
• Feijóo underscored arson as a key driver and cited Interior Ministry data since June showing 41 people detained and 127 under investigation for causing fires.
• The PP also seeks clearer inter-administrative rules for automatic deployment of state resources beyond the UME, while the PSOE and Defence Minister Margarita Robles criticize PP regional leaders and ministers face questioning in the Senate this week.
