Robles has accused Feijóo of demanding "incredible" fire fighting resources from the autonomous communities governed by the PP
He also recalls that the competence to request the activation of EMU lies with them: "The Army does not act ex officio."
The Minister of Defence, Margarita Robles, has reproached the Autonomous Communities governed by the PP for the lack of fire prevention and the delays in demanding resources to deal with them, and has reminded them that the competence to request the activation of the Military Emergency Unit (EMU) lies with them: "The Army does not act ex officio."
He has also blamed the PP leader, Alberto Núñez Feijóo, for the fact that several of the autonomies governed by his party have asked the state on the night of 15 August for "enormous means" against fire, even though they were working in a "perfectly coordinated" manner.
During his appearance in the Senate this Tuesday, at the request of the PP, Robles detailed the messages sent from Galicia, Extremadura and Castilla y León, from 20:42, after Feijóo requested more reinforcements from the Army, beyond the Military Emergency Unit (EMU).

Robles has found it surprising that these three communities, which were working in coordination with technical teams, were asking for resources in an "abstract" way, without a specific list, with elements already deployed, such as heavy machinery or night vision drones.
The Minister of Defence has stated that the councillors of the communities affected by the fires "have suffered, have had a hard time", have had to make difficult decisions and have seen "someone coming from outside, even if he is from the same party" and have asked for means at 23:00 at night, when they and their technicians were doing their job well.
He has also highlighted Andalusia and Aragón, ruled by the popular Juanma Moreno and Jorge Azcón. "I want to take this opportunity to congratulate Andalusia and Aragon, an area that has been worked on for many years," said the minister. "And when circumstances arise, Andalusia or Aragon are always up to the task," he added.
