20.08.2025 ⇢ The Fires' Vast Burn and Political Echoes
⌨Spanish media maintained its primary focus on the persistent wildfires, which have now devastated nearly 400,000 hectares across the country, making 2025 one of the worst years in decades. While the end of the heatwave and some rain brought relief and aided extinction efforts in areas like Castilla y León, strong winds continued to complicate blazes elsewhere, particularly in Jarilla. Reports highlighted mass evacuations and the restoration of AVE train service to Galicia as signs of partial recovery, alongside continued concerns over toxic smoke impacts.
The crisis sustained intense political debate over government management and accountability, with calls for ministers to testify. A significant new development emerged as international press reacted to a fresh imputation against Begoña Gómez, raising its profile as a key political narrative.
Concurrently, international news prominently featured Israel's mobilization of 60,000 reservists and the commencement of its operation to take Gaza City.
