Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez is presiding over a meeting of the State Committee for Coordination and Direction (CECOD) this Friday at the Moncloa Complex. The session was convened to address the escalation of forest fires currently affecting the Community of Madrid and the province of Ávila.
Interior Minister Fernando Grande-Marlaska declared a national emergency for these regions on Thursday due to the persistence of several wildfires that remain uncontained and unperimetered. While authorities have reported that the advancement of the fires in Villa del Prado and San Martín de Valdeiglesias has been limited in recent hours, the situation remains critical as crews continue efforts to bring the blazes under control.
