Overview

• Spain’s Council of Ministers designated 121 incidents across 16 regions as areas seriously affected by a civil protection emergency, opening access to state aid and fiscal and social security relief.
• Initial payments under Royal Decree 307/2005 include up to €15,120 for destruction of a primary residence and up to €18,000 for death, with Interior studying higher amounts via royal decree.
• EFFIS/Copernicus data put the burned area this year at about 414,000 hectares following the August fire surge, with several major fronts still active in the northwest.
• Evacuations and confinements continued on Tuesday in Zamora, León and Lugo, affecting dozens of villages as wind and smoke hampered firefighting efforts.
• The political clash deepened as the PP advanced a 50‑measure plan that includes a national pyromaniac registry and the Government pressed for a climate adaptation pact, with ministers scheduled to explain actions in Parliament this week.
