Pedro Sánchez to Address Congress on DANA Management Amid G20 Commitments
The Spanish government is set to register a request for the appearance of Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez in Congress this Monday, concerning the management of the recent catastrophic storm known as DANA. This announcement comes from sources within Moncloa, as confirmed to El HuffPost.
The purpose of the Prime Minister's report is to provide insights into the government's response during the devastation caused by the storm, particularly focusing on the impact it had on areas in Valencia on November 27. Sánchez is expected to travel to Brazil this week to participate in the G20 meetings, prompting anticipation that the Board of Spokespersons in Congress will include his scheduled appearance on the agenda for the plenary session of November 27.
Previous to Sánchez's anticipated address, other key figures in his cabinet have already presented their updates in Parliament regarding the government's actions in response to the DANA. Notably, Ángel Víctor Torres, the Minister of Territorial Policy and Democratic Memory, has delivered remarks in Congress, while Defense Minister Margarita Robles has done so in the Senate. Their appearances aimed to inform lawmakers about the executive's management concerning the storm's aftermath.
In addition, the Third Vice President of the Government and Minister for Ecological Transition and the Demographic Challenge, Teresa Ribera, is scheduled to appear in Congress next Wednesday to further detail the measures that have been implemented to assist with the recovery and response efforts following the DANA disaster.
As the situation unfolds, the government's communications are under close observation, and the public awaits an outline of the steps taken and future strategies to reinforce the support for the affected regions.
