27.08.2025 ⇢ The day wildfires and Leire Díez inquiry
⌨The day's editorial focus in Spain was largely dictated by the ongoing wildfire crisis and converging political developments. Early reports highlighted continued scrutiny of government responses, with President Sánchez noted for delegating public appearances at fire sites. This contrasted with extensive coverage of the royal family's visit to fire-devastated areas like Sanabria and Zamora, where they heard "overwhelming testimonies" from residents. Midday saw Minister Sara Aagesen appear in the Senate to explain wildfire management, linking fires to climate change while facing opposition criticism. Separately, a new political front opened as the PP reactivated the Senate's 'Koldo commission,' summoning Leire Díez, a figure identified as "key to sanchismo," for questioning. The government also signaled potential police intervention for regions refusing migrant minors.
