29.08.2025The day Mañueco defended fire management and Trump's tariffs were annulled
Spanish media on August 29th primarily navigated a dual focus between escalating international events and persistent domestic political fallout from wildfires. Early reports detailed intensified Russian attacks on Kyiv, with the EU planning further sanctions, continuing a key international story from the previous day. Domestically, the day was dominated by the ongoing wildfire crisis in Spain. Regional leader Mañueco faced significant scrutiny, defending his management amidst protests and attributing chaos to a "perverse cocktail." Debate also emerged over the non-application of the Forest Firefighters Statute and proposals for reducing forest mass. Concurrently, political tensions heightened with reports of a strained relationship between Prime Minister Sánchez and the King, Sánchez's new budget alliances, and renewed accusations against Interior Minister Marlaska. Late in the day, international focus shifted significantly as a US federal court annulled most of Donald Trump's tariffs, becoming a prominent closing story.
