Institutional loyalty and more resources to deal with climatic emergency. That is the message that the President of the Government has launched during his visit on Tuesday to Extremadura, one of the territories affected by the wave of fires that Spain ravages during the month of August. Pedro Sánchez has also committed the effort of his Executive in the reconstruction of the places razed by the flames and has announced that in the first council of ministers of the course, next Tuesday, the declaration of areas affected by an emergency civil protection to the areas that are suffering forest fires will proceed.
This official statement of “areas affected by an emergency of civil protection,” said Sánchez, which implies the “commitment” of the government to also face the task of reconstruction, once “they extinguish and know the economic impact on each and every one of the pockets of the neighbors of the affected municipalities.”
“The State We are all,” said the president in an appeal that the different levels of administration to narrow their cooperation out of the partisan struggle. “In the face of emergencies, only one response is worth: institutional unit, institutional loyalty, co -responsibility in the resources that are deployed to deal with this catastrophe.”
Sanchez has recognized that the climatic emergency “is faster than expected” and that, therefore, that context must open the debate on existing resources. “We have to readjust and resize our capabilities. The media are and will be greater, but the competitions are clear. And, therefore, maximum collaboration, maximum empathy and maximum commitment because we are facing a reality that runs over us more and faster.”
The president has reiterated his intention to promote a State pact on the policies to be developed to deal with climate change. Something that has set for the month of September. “I will propose to the scientific community, the entrepreneurs, the unions, and the administrations a State Pact against the climate emergency. With that ambition and with that objective we will work in the coming months and years.”
“We must prepare the territories so that when these emergencies are produced we are provided to make their impact less. Every year the climatic emergency is accelerated, why do we do not make the climate emergency a state policy?” He stressed.
