President Pedro Sánchez announced that the Council of Ministers will approve a Royal Decree-law to designate areas affected by forest fires as areas seriously impacted by civil protection emergencies. During a visit to the Advanced Command Post in Navaluenga, Ávila, Sánchez highlighted the collaborative efforts of regional governments and emphasized the priority of protecting lives and population centers. He noted that over 150,000 hectares have burned this summer, a sixfold increase compared to last year, with 32 major fires recorded. Sánchez reiterated calls for a national pact to address the climate emergency, stressing institutional cooperation across affected regions including Castile-La Mancha, Extremadura, Galicia, Asturias, and Portugal.
