11.11.2024The day Sánchez countered with billions

By midday, Prime Minister Sánchez announced a €3.7 billion aid package with 110 measures, including immediate 50% advance payments, while deploying 18,000 military personnel.

Regional President Mazón acknowledged "errors" in crisis management and appointed Camarero to lead recovery efforts, while maintaining his position that government support arrived late. The Civil Guard contradicted earlier claims about organized ultra-right involvement in recent incidents.

By evening, attention shifted to fiscal policy as PSOE and Sumar agreed to raise VAT on tourist apartments to 21% and introduce a luxury goods tax. Reports emerged about the Júcar Confederation requesting national control of alerts two years prior, while Catalonia faced scrutiny over 40 campsites in flood-prone areas.
