• Pedro Sánchez announced an interministerial climate commission led by Sara Aagesen, with the first post-summer Council of Ministers on Tuesday set to approve disaster-zone declarations and initial aid.
• The PP has triggered urgent appearances in Congress and enabled August sessions in the Senate, where Margarita Robles appears Tuesday, Aagesen Wednesday, Fernando Grande-Marlaska Thursday and Luis Planas Friday.
• A war of words escalated after PP official Elías Bendodo called Protección Civil chief Virginia Barcones a “pirómana,” as PSOE figures cited €253 million transferred to regions for prevention and argued policy drives long-term solutions.
• Andalusian official Antonio Sanz pledged a voluntary appearance to detail prevention spending, asserting Infoca’s readiness and noting Andalusia did not require extraordinary state resources.
