In a surprising turn, PP leader Alberto Núñez Feijóo has criticized the Spanish government's handling of the recent dana disaster, which resulted in over 200 deaths.

Feijóo accused Vice President Teresa Ribera of "lamentable" management and blamed the Júcar Hydrographic Confederation for negligence in alerting about the flood risks.

This stance contrasts sharply with the previous day's remarks by PP spokesperson Borja Sémper, who had refrained from criticizing the government to avoid further political tension.

Feijóo's comments have puzzled party members, as he defended Valencian President Carlos Mazón, despite internal criticism of Mazón's actions during the crisis.

The PP's shifting strategy comes amid Ribera's contentious examination for a European Commission role, where she faced harsh criticism from conservative and far-right groups.
