Overview
- The party lodged a wide-ranging complaint that lists roughly 20 figures, including Pedro Sánchez, three ministers, the Protección Civil chief Virginia Barcones, and five regional presidents from PP and PSOE.
- Those named are accused of homicide by negligence, arson in forest areas, an offence against workers' rights, and prevarication by omission.
- Vox argues authorities acted negligently through poor coordination and by failing to request a level‑3 emergency that would have shifted command to Moncloa.
- The filing marks a shift as Vox also targets PP regional leaders, with spokesperson José Antonio Fúster vowing to pursue everyone deemed responsible.
- The move extends Vox’s strategy of taking political disputes to the courts, following a previous flooding-related complaint that the Supreme Court archived in July.
