This Thursday marks the fourth day of the doctors’ strike in Madrid. The president of the Community, Isabel Díaz Ayuso, continues to reject criticism of her management and assures that it is a “political issue” and not a labor one. Today the plenary session of the Assembly meets.
Yesterday, Wednesday, the Prosecutor’s Office asked the Ministry of the Interior for “all the recordings” about the Melilla tragedy of June 24, in which at least 23 people died and the portfolio led by Fernando Grande-Marlaska assured that it has already sent all the material . The partners of the Government increase the pressure on the minister, while the PP demands his relief and does not rule out supporting a parliamentary investigation.
Today, moreover, marks the 20th anniversary of the Prestige tragedy, the oil tanker that left its harmful cargo in Galician waters. The sentence for the biggest environmental disaster in Spain came on the eleventh anniversary. Juan Luis Pía, the judge who read the ruling, died in 2020 and Álvaro García Ortiz, prosecutor in the case, is today at the top of the Public Ministry.
