Serious fires in the Valencian Community served as kerosene for the political battle in the regional board. This Tuesday, PP called for the scheduled calendar to be brought forward at the Cortes to force the appearance of Generalitat chief Ximo Puig, given that he has to make statements for the bushfires registered in Vall d’Ebo. Incident by train in Bejís and also in Castellón terminal. Citizens also demanded that the Ministers of Justice and Environment, Gabriela Bravo and Mireia Mollà, appear. But, at least for now, it doesn’t look like Botànic will speed up the deadlines for statements in Parliament demanded by the opposition. In fact, Socialists believe that trying to generate election revenue at a time of particular difficulty is a ploy. What the Valencian left will do is convene Consell’s plenary next Tuesday to approve aid to the affected areas. Because, as insisted by the Presidency, they are focused on producing solutions.
Specifically, the public urged the PP’s board of trustees to hold a spokesperson meeting as soon as possible to set a date to convene the Standing Council before 1 September for Consel’s chairman to appear there, as announced by the PP’s trustees this Tuesday. Cortes, Maria José KatalaHe cautioned that the PP did not rule out the possibility of requesting a commission of inquiry “if the necessary clarifications were not made” in this regard. However, they argue from the Presidency that the opposite is what happened, as Puig comes under fire every day and makes relevant statements.
“We can’t wait a week and go to the calendar set in July, when the worst fires of this decade didn’t happen. There’s no point keeping that calendar,” Catalá said.
He therefore urged “to speed up parliamentary work as much as possible in order to be able to prove Permanent Representation, and above all for Puig to come forward and make the appropriate explanations” and “to initiate all assistance and measures as quickly as possible”. possible” in favor of those affected by these fires.
Similarly, Catalá deemed it necessary to make a statement on the grounds that “not enough information was given” about the incident recorded by the “panic train” in the Bejís case. He said his training speculated that this might be due to “a coordination problem” and he wanted it to be “assumed naturally”.
“We reviewed all the regional regulations and the specific plan for forest fire prevention. In all the plans Generalitat is making, regional responsibility for emergency coordination has been established. We are very clear that this emergency coordination has failed and that this emergency coordination has failed. Generalitat, Renfe and He did not give the necessary warnings to Adif,” he said.
Catalá stressed that during the Vall d’Ebo and Bejís fires, the popular took a “respectful stance”, “not using the situation in a partisan way”. In this line, he stated that the PP knew “what it is to use fire partisanly” because, as he himself puts it, it was experienced by “PSOE and Compromís” during his years of government, citing the commission of inquiry. Claimed “due to the fires of the Cortes de Pallás” in 2012.
Likewise, he evaluated the proposal registered by the parliamentary group with “.twenty initiatives and concrete measures“For the regions affected by the recent fires, it was also recorded at Les Corts this Tuesday in order to reach a compromise by his party” with all parliamentary groups “Between them, he said, there are actions that can initiate very specific autonomy within fifteen days” and on personal income tax for those affected. he mentioned some, such as bonuses, cuts to the self-employment quota, or special plans for forest recovery and tourism.
“Measures, appearances, making statements and appearing are the least that can be asked of a government, and the appropriate things a responsible opposition can ask for,” said María José Catalá. “Nobody cares to accuse us of using partisans,” she added.
For its part, the Cs parliamentary group has also requested the creation of a special commission to study forest management in the Community of Valencia, with “special emphasis on fire prevention”, as announced by the spokesperson for this training this Tuesday, Ruth Merino.
“We want experts and those affected, those who really know the issue, to talk about the condition of our forests and mountains, what can be improved, and whether there is abandonment, lack of sanitation, lack of economic resources. Generalitat’s budget allocation, management of resources, weather or forest fires are the primary influencers. the absence of an industry,” he explained. Also from Cs, “his appearance Mireia MullahMinister of Agriculture and Gabriela BravoMinister of Justice because “They have to explain the management and prevention of fires or failure to take action.”
Merino considered his group’s proposal to be “proactive and constructive”, noting that in the Vall d’Ebo and Bejís cases, “the important thing is to evaluate what has failed and what has consistently failed”.
“We want experts to tell us about this and draw conclusions that can lead to minimizing impacts”, he also said he favors “promoting livestock and agriculture as fire prevention” and facilitate the management and delivery of assistance for those affected by the fires in Vall d’Ebo and Bejís wanted.
demagogy
Meanwhile, the PSPV-PSOE trustees at Cortes, Main BarcelonaHe described the PP’s stance as “demagogic” and said it was “destroying that while soldiers continue to operate in the region, their dedication to electoral revenue from a tragedy is devastating”. And he asked Catalá “whether there was the fire cartel led by Serafín Castellano, the example he would follow in fire management.”
In this sense, the socialist leader stressed that “we will not tolerate lessons from the Valencian right”, and “we already know what the management of PP fires in the Valencian Community is based on: zero commitment to prevention, renunciation and the so-called manipulation of public contracts.” “It’s ironic that they’re now stuffing their mouths demanding commissions and appearances,” he insisted.
Likewise, Barceló pointed out that “from the very first moment the fires in our country were declared this summer, Ximo Puig was responsible for coordinating them and always made all necessary disclosures with maximum transparency” and added, “To clarify all the facts that have occurred after the fire has stabilized. He pointed out that the necessary investigations were carried out.
Finally, the socialist mayor valued the “rapid response at both the regional and national level to begin work on the rebuilding and rebirth of the affected areas”: “We have a plan just ten days after the tragedy. We have a plan to start working looking to the future and the global measures and the world.” will be declared a disaster zone”.
