"Mr President, Commissioner, the Rio+20 Summit should have ensured the protection of our planet. Not being ambitious leads to floods, droughts and fires, as have occurred in Valencia, in Spain. This weekend, a fire has consumed more than 50 000 hectares, affected 22 towns, led to the evacuation of 3 000 people, and the death of a pilot. We send his family our condolences.
Mr Vidal-Quadras made a speech about it yesterday. I thank him, but I want to denounce it here as a citizen who has had personal experience. My home in Valencia is covered in ash; a cloud of smoke previously engulfed it. That is not the only issue however. People have lost their homes, farms, land and animals. I ask for accountability given that cutbacks in the public system also lead to fires.
I denounce my regional government for the lack of coordination in extinguishing the fire, in the evacuation and in the release of information. The citizens of Valencia, Spain, are also EU citizens and I therefore request solidarity aid to alleviate the damage caused by this fire and, above all, to prevent new fires from starting."@en1
