22.08.2025The Fires' Retreat, The Climate Pact's Rise
The day saw a dual focus on Spain's wildfires and the escalating political response. Early reports noted meteorological aid in containing blazes across Ourense, León, Zamora, and Cáceres, a continuation from previous days' struggles. By mid-morning, a significant development emerged with the stabilization of the Jarilla fire after 11 days. Concurrently, political tensions persisted, with early accusations against the government for avoiding a national emergency and claims of privatization. As the day progressed, President Sánchez visited affected areas in Asturias and announced an interministerial climate change commission, shifting the discourse toward long-term prevention and a state pact despite opposition. Evening reports confirmed improvements in Galicia, Castilla y León, and Extremadura, allowing evacuated residents to return, yet political scrutiny intensified over fire management and alleged "business of fire" practices. Internationally, the UN declared famine in Gaza, and Israel denied entry to Barcelona's mayor.
