Marlaska claims that the autonomies did not question state aid until Feijóo asked for more
In response to PP Senator Luis Santamaria, the Minister of the Interior recalled the powers in the field of emergencies and accused PP members of "throwing balls out."
The Minister of the Interior, Fernando Grande-Marlaska, said on Thursday that the Autonomous Communities affected by the major fires did not question the resources available to the Spanish State to combat the fire until on 15 August the PP leader, Alberto Núñez Feijóo, called for more support and resources from the army.
Marlaska made this point during his appearance before the groups in the Senate Internal Affairs Committee, where he explained, atthe request of the PP, the State's contribution to the extinction of the summer fires, especially in Galicia, Castilla y León, Asturias and Extremadura.
In response to PP Senator Luis Santamaría, the Minister of the Interior recalled the area of competence in the field of emergencies, stressing that its management is the responsibility of the autonomies, and accused the people of "throwing balls outinstead of spending that energy on putting the means to manage the emergency. "
It makes it clear thatthe State cannot "revoke or revoke" the autonomy, which is the one that must seek assistance from the State. In this regard, it reiterates that the powers of management belong to them "because they are in the field and are the ones who know best".
With regard to the management of some of these Autonomous Communities, Marlaska has given some example, such as Galicia, which requested human resources when it was withdrawing its own, or Castilla y León. In this case, according to the Minister, on 8 August, when the fires were already alarming, the Community authorities waited until 17 August to put the Community firefighters on holiday to work on extinction.
"From minute one , the resources requestedby Civil Protection and the Government were made available to the communities, "said Marlaska, who, as Defense Minister Margarita Robles did on Tuesday, lamented the attitude of some of these autonomies following Feijóo's statements.
As he explained, the senior leaders of Galicia and Castilla y León went to the central administration to demand "inaccurate" means. "That is not institutional loyalty," the minister stressed.
