President Pedro Sánchez of the Government of Spain has proposed that Mallorca host the new European fire-fighting center for the western Mediterranean, according to a letter sent to the European Commission. The proposal, discussed during a meeting with King Felipe VI and Balearic Islands President Marga Prohens at the Royal Palace of La Almudaina in Palma, involves establishing the hub at Son Sant Joan air base. This center would complement the eastern Mediterranean fire-fighting operations in Cyprus. Sánchez also addressed ongoing forest fires, urging public caution amid high temperatures, and highlighted economic growth and job creation. The meeting covered international issues including conflicts in Ukraine and the Middle East, as well as Latin American developments, with Spain set to host an Ibero-American Summit in November.
