Sánchez to Address DANA Crisis in Congress

Published: 2024-11-17

Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez is set to address the Congress on November 27 to discuss the government's handling of the devastating DANA storm that struck in late October, resulting in over 200 deaths, primarily in Valencia.

His appearance follows criticism from regional leader Carlos Mazón, who accused central agencies of failing to provide timely information during the crisis.

Sánchez's address will occur after his participation in the G-20 summit in Brazil.

The political tension between the central government and Valencia's regional administration has intensified, with the latter facing scrutiny over delayed emergency alerts.

This session is part of a broader political clash between the PSOE and the PP, as Sánchez aims to clarify the government's response to the tragedy.
