"Mr President, via the Presidency of this House I would like to send a message of condolence and solidarity to various municipalities in Galicia, particularly in the province of Pontevedra, in view of the grave situation they are suffering as a result of serious floods since the weekend.
The storm has caused serious damage. There has been great damage to homes, companies, transport routes, agriculture and cattle. Unfortunately, there have also been injuries and deaths.
As we all know, last August the Autonomous Community of Galicia suffered an enormous disaster as a result of a great wave of fires, which this Parliament debated in September. On that occasion we backed the mobilisation of the European Solidarity Fund.
The serious effects of the heavy rains over recent days are linked to the August fires, as today’s Galician press points out. The loss of wooded areas and the tonnes of ash swept away have increased the ferocity of the floods. This is a further demonstration of the scale of the disaster that struck Galicia in the summer.
Several Galicia municipalities are unfortunately once again in mourning."@en1
