The controversy over the management of fires in recent days in the Spanish State will determine the start of the political course, which will begin this week in Spain, with sessions in Congress and the Senate, as well as the Council of Ministers.

The Permanent Deputy will hold an extraordinary meeting in Congress this Tuesday to decide on the PP's requests for fire hearings and other matters.



The people want the President of the Spanish Government, Pedro Sánchez, to come to Congress as soon as possible after accusing his wife, Begoña Gómez , of more crimes and  to talk, among other things, aboutthejudicial investigation of the "plumber" of the PSOE, Leire Díaz.

They have also called for the appearance of the third Vice-President and Minister for the Ecological Transition, Sara Aagesen, and the Minister of Defence, Margarita Robles, to explain how theGovernment will assist the Autonomous Communities affected by the fires.

They also request the appearance of Interior Minister Fernando Grande-Marlaska to explainthe award of the Storage Management Contract of the Integrated Telecommunications Interception System (SITEL) to the Chinese company  Huawei. The PP also wants the head of Migration, Elma Sainz, to speak out on the "migration emergency" in the southern half ofthe state and the Balearic Islands; and for the Minister of Equality, Ana Redondo, to communicate her decisions on measures against the "prevailing machismo" in the government.

First Vice-President and Finance Minister María Jesús Montero also wants the PP to appear in Congress as a matter of urgency to give details about the cancellation of debt to Catalonia.

All these requests belong to Congress, but the party led by Alberto Núñez Feijóo has also requested the appearance in the Senate of Sara Aagés, Margarita Robles, Fernando Grande-Marlaska and the Minister of Agriculture, Luis Planas.

The President of the Spanish Government has also advanced that, prior to the meeting of his cabinet, an inter-ministerial committee on climate change will be set up, which, together with the Third Vice-President and Minister for the Ecological Transition and the Ministry of the Interior, will be responsible for the State ClimateChange Pact proposed by Sanchez.
