"Mr President, in Spain, there has also been a large number of fires that have had a devastating impact on 200 000 hectares of land across the country, which amounts to three times the area affected during the same period in 2011 and almost twice the average for the last decade.
What is new about this? What is new is the fact that we now have a government that has drastically cut almost all the budget items intended for fire prevention and fire-fighting. Sometimes, savings can turn out to be very expensive. We can see that austerity policies are having perverse effects in this area as well.
Another development is that, for the first time in 30 years, we have a prime minister, Mr Rajoy, who is not dealing with this problem; he has not spoken of it in parliament nor visited those affected.
The latest major fire occurred on the Costa del Sol.
The European Commission is our last resort. I have put forward a series of questions and I am now awaiting the Commission’s answers."@en1
