Minister Félix Bolaños and PP leader Alberto Núñez Feijóo have avoided political confrontation following the Los Gallardos wildfire that killed 12 and burned more than 6,600 hectares.
The wildfire declared Thursday afternoon in Los Gallardos, Béjar and Antas was contained on Saturday thanks to improved weather conditions and the work of the UME, INFOCA and Levante firefighters. Andalusian authorities decided not to send an ES-Alert message based on technical criteria to avoid confusion between areas requiring evacuation and others needing confinement.
Presidency Minister Félix Bolaños validated that decision during his visit to the Advanced Command Post in Turre and called for cooperation between administrations. Popular Party leader Alberto Núñez Feijóo echoed the appeal for coordination and thanked emergency services.
Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez will visit the area next Monday. Forensic experts continue identifying victims and there are eight injured, four of them in the burn unit at Hospital Virgen del Rocío.
