The State's device to give support to the autonomous communities in the fight against forest fires is similar to that of previous years, and incorporates the highest technology, such as communication and observation aircraft, the use of drones or satellite tools, to help in the prevention and extinction of fires.
The undersecretary of the Ministry of the Interior, Isabel Goicoechea, accompanied by the General Director of Civil Protection and Emergencies, Alberto Herrera, presided at the headquarters of the Department the meeting of the State Committee for the Coordination of Forest Fires (CECO), which they attended representatives of the different State agencies involved in the Campaign.
During the meeting, the members of the Committee agreed that the good results obtained in the Campaign of 2018, the year in which the lowest data of the last decade were recorded, both in the number of hectares burned and in the number of consequences on the population, it will be difficult for them to repeat themselves in 2019. It is foreseeable that the winter will be very hot and dry this year, as the President of the State Meteorological Agency (AEMET), Miguel Ángel López, has a negative impact on the occurrence of forest fires.
Ministry of InteriorThe Undersecretary of the Ministry of the Interior has called for redoubling the prevention and coordination between administrations to try to mitigate, as far as possible, the consequences of fires when they occur, and recalled that "we have to achieve that goal with a device that , both by the means at its disposal, and by the preparation of the professionals who participate in it, is a benchmark in the European field in the fight against forest fires. "
In this context, it should be noted that Spain is one of the five countries of the European Union that participates in the aerial media fleet of the rescEU system to fight forest fires, which the EU is launching for the first time this year. Our country has offered this deployment two high-capacity fire-fighting aircraft.
The Spanish experience is being increasingly required in the international scenario, and a good example of this is the deployment of a team of experts from the European Civil Protection Mechanism in Guatemala to advise the Government of that country on forest fire, integrated in mostly by Spanish experts and led by an official of the Military Emergency Unit (UME).
State Media for the 2019 Campaign
The State complements the action corresponding to the Autonomous Communities by virtue of its competences in Civil Protection and forest management, providing means of state ownership, and facilitating the incorporation of means of other Administrations, as well as international assistance, when this is necessary. The Ministry of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food and the Military Emergency Unit are the agencies that provide the most resources:
18 Cl-215T and CL-415 amphibious aircraft, 4 surveillance helicopters, 8 Kamov bomber helicopters, 10 AT-802 ground cargo planes, 6 AT-802FB amphibious aircraft, 19 brigade transport helicopters, 4 communication aircraft and observation (ACO) and 4 unmanned aerial reinforcement vehicles for night use positioned in León, Zaragoza, Cáceres and Albacete.
The BRIF have their bases in Laza (Orense), Tineo (Asturias), Tabuyo (León), Lubia (Soria), Daroca (Zaragoza), Pradoesquiladores (Cuenca), La Iglesuela (Toledo), Puerto Pico (Ávila), Pinofranqueado ( Cáceres) and Puntagorda (La Palma). In addition, it has 7 mobile units.
The Military Emergency Unit it contributes 1,400 troops in interventions of direct attack to the fire and other 1,500 in functions of logistical support, next to the corresponding material means, terrestrial as as much aerial. It acts at the request of the Autonomous Communities through the General Directorate of Civil Protection and Emergencies.
The State's mechanism is completed with the actions of the State Security Forces (Civil Guard and National Police) in surveillance, prevention and investigation tasks.
Monitoring 24 hours a day
From the National Emergency Center (CENEM) of the General Directorate of Civil Protection and Emergencies, a continuous monitoring of the declared situations is carried out and updated information is provided to all the bodies involved to facilitate early decision-making. In addition, the satellite detection system is available, from which simulations of the possible evolution of the fires detected can be made.
Likewise, this General Directorate coordinates the contribution of international media, through the Civil Protection Mechanism of the European Union and is responsible for activating the European Copernic System for Earth mapping in emergency management, a very useful tool for the subsequent evaluation of the fire.
Data until April 30, 2019
Ministry of Agriculture, Food and EnvironmentThe campaign against forest fires takes place between June and October, coinciding with the period of more heat and less rainfall. However, the fire can appear at any time of the year if there are circumstances that favor its spread: high, temperatures, lack of rain and wind, as has happened during this winter, especially in the northern regions of the peninsula.
This concurrence of phenomena has caused that, according to the data provided by the Coordination Center of the National Information on Forest Fires, until April 30 have burned more than 32,000 hectares of forest area. This figure represents a significant increase compared to 2018, which was a year with very few forest fires, and also exceeds the average of the last decade, which is close to 24,000 hectares.
On the other hand, for the purposes of Civil Protection, up to May 20, 159 fires have been notified to the National Emergency Monitoring and Coordination Center. The most serious events took place in Cantabria in February, due to its great simultaneity.
So far, the Military Emergency Unit has been mobilized five times: in the Canary Islands, Asturias, Galicia, Cantabria and Castilla-La Mancha.
Normality and absence of notable incidents in the Winter Road Campaign 2018-2019
This Thursday has also been held the State Balance Committee of the Winter Road Campaign 2018-2019, which closes without notable incidents. This campaign has registered the minor consequences of recent years, given the scarcity of snowfall during the winter.
The prepared operation worked normally when it was necessary to intervene and, as the most notable events, some occurred in the Cantabrian coast and in the Pyrenees. For its part, the Military Emergency Unit had to intervene on a single occasion in the southwest of the Principality of Asturias.

The Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food Acting, Luis Planas, has participated in the closure of the 46th ordinary assembly of the Association of the National Veterinary Body, which was held at the headquarters of the Ministry, in which different distinctions have been delivered to veterinarians who have distinguished themselves in their functions.
The minister has highlighted the work of the National Veterinary Body in a wide range of tasks such as the fight against the depopulation of the countryside, the commitment to young people and rural women, the negotiation and signing of sanitary agreements that facilitate the sector to improve its internationalization, the responsible holding of pets or the support of the agricultural insurance policy.
For this reason, Planas has encouraged veterinarians to continue working for the public service, and to increase the level of Spanish agriculture and livestock. In this way, the income of producers, animal health, food safety and, ultimately, the quality and quantity of productions will be improved. All this in a context of sustainability and care of the environment.
Finally, Planas has recognized the work of the Board of Directors of the Association and its effort to maintain a fluid dialogue with the Ministry.

"We must prevent Vox's flight from leading Podemos to take power in municipalities and autonomous communities, and with influence in the European Parliament"
The Spokesman of the Popular Party and first vice-president of the European Popular Group in the European Parliament, and candidate for the European elections, Esteban González Pons, has warned today that if the president of the Congress, Mertixell Batet, "is lax with the deputies accused of trying to give a coup d'etat, does not suspend these deputies immediately and refers to what a judge, the European Parliament, tells her will have a precedent to do the same with Puigdemont ", that despite being absconded in Belgium is presented to the European elections.
In statements to the media in Segovia, González Pons has ensured that, by not immediately suspending the prisoners as deputies, "Batet must know that it is establishing a precedent that the European Parliament will then apply."
The popular spokesman in the European Parliament has explained that "the embarrassment we witnessed the other day in Congress", when prisoners accused of taking a coup took office as deputies, could have been avoided as there are other formulas to lend oath, but he has indicated that this situation "has been greatly aggravated by the indolent attitude of Batet".
"At stake is not only the prestige of the socialist party in Catalonia, but the prestige of Spanish politics before the rest of the EU," he added.
"We must prevent Vox's flight from leading to Podemos taking power"
On the other hand, González Pons has indicated that today the European elections have begun in the United Kingdom and that according to the polls the extreme right-wing of the Brexit [leaving the United Kingdom from the EU] will win with a large majority.
González Pons has advocated reacting with "prudence" to this possible result in the United Kingdom, but has also called for "protection against the virus of populism and nationalism, now is when we must be stronger against the extreme right and the extreme left" .
"In the last general elections, Spain, fleeing from Vox, fell into the arms of Podemos. In the next elections we must avoid that the flight of Vox entails that Podemos can take power in the municipalities, in the autonomous communities and also with the influence in the European Parliament, "he explained.
"Let us learn the lesson and gather in the European elections the vote of the center right around the PP, there is no other European option than the PP," he insisted.
Support to Pablo Pérez, candidate for mayor of Segovia
González Pons has also supported the candidacy of Pablo Pérez Coronado to the mayor of Segovia and stressed that "it is the best bet" for the city because it represents "change, which is youth", and "the future", because it belongs to the group of young people who want to stay and live in Segovia.

The candidate for the European Parliament, Dolors Montserrat, affirms that "in these elections we are playing for Spain to be relevant in Europe and in the world, and not be isolated from international politics". "With the PP, Spain has always been on the bridge of command in Europe and with the PSOE is isolated and becomes irrelevant in European and international policy."
Dolors Montserrat insists that "the Popular Party is a guarantee of economic growth, employment and equal opportunities between women and men". "We are the party of the rural world, not of emptied Spain but of the Spain of opportunities". Stands out that Monago, when he was president of Extremadura, already demonstrated to all Extremadura how the PP governs "thinking of all Extremadura, solving real problems and giving opportunities. Economic growth, employment and raising this great land that is Extremadura ".
Highlights that "the PP we are the ones who defend the unity of Spain, we are the brake on populism and nationalism that threatens Europe." "We can not leave these elections in the hands of Sanchez and the socialists who flirt, agree and negotiate with the independentistas that come to weaken Spain and Europe." He maintains that "we are the party that believes in equal opportunities, between women and men". In this sense, he emphasizes that "thanks to our women in the rural world, our people exist, because you are the strength, the courage that raises businesses and our families and for that I want to thank you".
Explains that "Europe is part of our lives, in Europe we play the things of eating, in Europe we play the common agricultural policy and structural funds." He stressed that the aid "is positive for Extremadura to give opportunities to unemployed youth, to give opportunities to those small and medium enterprises that want to adapt to the digital revolution and want to be competitive."
"We promise that in this next term in the European Parliament to continue defending the 4.5 billion euros for the common agricultural policy."
Dolors Montserrat recalls that "when the PSOE governed with Rodríguez Zapatero and was negotiating the funds, he and his minister went to sleep, literally, and came to Spain with 1,500 million euros less for our field and livestock." Unlike Rajoy, with Arias Cañete and Tejerina, who did not go to sleep and came to Spain with 500 million euros more. "
"Minister Calviño, who was previously responsible for the budgets of the commission, established for this upcoming budget, by 2020, a 30% cut in funds for agriculture and livestock for Spain and for the rest of the countries and thanks to the strength of the PP in Europe we managed to reverse this situation so harmful. "
Highlight that "Thanks to the PP and Mariano Rajoy in the negotiation of the 2014-2020 structural funds have reached 37,400 million euros in Spain. Thanks to these funds we have helped all unemployed youth to enter the labor market, we have facilitated small and medium enterprises to improve their financing and to be more competitive ". He emphasizes that "we want Spain to be the European California, to lead the digital revolution, because this will lead us to create high quality jobs".
Montserrat states that "infrastructures are opportunities, it is employment and investment". That is why he is committed to "we are going to make the AVE reach Extremadura and have the trains you need like any other Spanish".
"In these elections there are only two political projects, the one that works, the PP, the economic growth, the employment, the rural world, the opportunities between women and men and the one that unfortunately never works that leads us to the economic crises, the unemployment queues in the unemployment offices ".

Affirms that the "do not worry" of Sanchez to Junqueras, can only lead to a pardon and warns that "it is the price that will pay the PSOE in exchange for seats"
The national president of the Popular Party, Pablo Casado, has announced that the PP will denounce the president of Congress, Meritxell Batet, before the courts for prevarication if he does not immediately suspend as deputies the imprisoned politicians, since the Supreme Court is telling the President of the Congress that the decision is yours.
Likewise, Casado has assured that the PP does not recognize as parliamentarians the coup prisoners because the formula used for the oath has not been valid and the Rules of the Congress and the Law of Criminal Procedure are enough to suspend them as deputies.
In this regard, he recalled that the Popular Party asked to analyze the formulas used for the oaths or the promises of the deputies and that these do not rely on the recourse of the Constitutional Court, "because it is very serious to humiliate Spanish society by calling itself political prisoners within the Cortes, "he underlined.
At a rally in Telde, the president of the popular has demanded the acting president that "immediately" prevent prisoners like Jordi Sanchez, appointed by JxCAT, humiliate the head of state by going to the Zarzuela within the round of contacts for the investiture of the President of the Government.
"No government can submit to the Head of State, which represents all Spaniards, the humiliation that is supposed to receive in the Palacio de la Zarzuela a prisoner for breaking the law and even the Constitution," said Casado.
"THE PRICE PAID BY THE PSOE IS INDULGED BY SCANNERS"
In his opinion, the "do not worry" of Sánchez a Junqueras, in the constituent session of the Cortes, can only lead to a pardon and has warned that "it is the price that the PSOE will pay in exchange for seats".
To avoid this situation, has asked the rest of parliamentary groups to support the legislative initiative registered today by the PP in Congress, "to prohibit pardons to convicted of crimes of rebellion and sedition to those who have attacked the Legality and the Constitution."
Thus, the president of the PP has asked Sanchez directly after learning that the spokeswoman of United Podemos, Irene Montero, has acknowledged that her training wants to enter the Government. "Sanchez plays moderation when we have seen that Frankenstein's government conceals the motion of censure for the next four years," he concluded.

Teodoro García Egea warns the president of the Congress and the PSOE that "if it does not immediately suspend the prisoners for giving a blow to the State, the PP will ask for its disapproval" and plans to act against it for prevarication and disobedience before the courts . Remember that Meritxell Batet has received a letter "indicating the way forward to suspend the coup prisoners immediately"
Egea affirms that the writing sent by Batet to the TS was "an attempt to wash his hands and buy time". "You do not have to buy time here: you have to win democracy and the law." He describes as "ignominious" and a "disrespect for justice" that Pedro Sanchez tells the ERC leader "do not worry" and stresses that the only way for Junqueras, Tardá and Puigdemont to worry, is to vote for the PP at City Hall and in the Community of Madrid.
He argues that Spain does not deserve "one more day of embarrassment" in the Congress of Deputies. Transfer to those who do not want to swear the Constitution and loyalty to the Spaniards, who do not go to the Congress, the City Council or the Assembly of Madrid. "Institutions are being served to citizens and not to give a blow to the State or to curtail the rights and freedoms of thousands of Spaniards," he says. In the same line ensures that the PP wants to stop the drift of independence, populist and tax increases that is launching the socialist government. "We need to remove the red carpet that Manuela Carmena has put on Pedro Sánchez so that the Madrileños have to pay more taxes"
Stresses that in the debate yesterday was issued among the candidates for the Mayor of Madrid, Martinez-Almeida was the "great winner" and "the only one who" voice "to the millions of Madrid who want a cleaner, more entrepreneurial city and that aspires to be "the international reference in quality of life"
He stresses that next May 26 the people of Madrid have to choose between spending the next four years to "expand sidewalks" and "receive coup leaders", or, with Martinez-Almeida as mayor, to improve the lives of citizens, and increase cultural, educational and sports infrastructures of Madrid

It describes as "embarrassing shows" what happened in the Congress with the oaths of some deputies and the dialogue of Sánchez and Junqueras
The Secretary General of the Popular Party, Teodoro García Egea, has stated that "on May 26, each vote to the PSOE is a vote so that ERC does not worry".
In this regard, he pointed out that "everything indicates that Sánchez has tied a government in coalition with Podemos in which ERC is called to be an important partner."
During his appearance to report on the Bill proposed today by the GPP in Congress to prohibit pardons to those convicted of rebellion and sedition, Garcia Egea explained that this initiative responds to the "deep concern" of Spanish society after happened at the Congress last Tuesday, when there were two "embarrassing shows".
The popular leader has referred to the people who are in provisional prison and when swearing their position in the session of the constitution of the Cortes, they did it with formulas that were not clear regarding their commitment to comply with the Magna Carta.
Also, in the second place, it has been expressed about the words "do not worry" that the President of the Government moved to Oriol Junqueras and has assured that "the PP prefers that the Spaniards are calm and Junqueras worried".
Garcia Egea has attributed "the show" that was seen in the upper house to the division of the vote that took place on April 28 and has advocated that on May 26 be voted against what happened in the Congress and "in favor of institutions recovering their dignity. "
Similarly, he said that "someone who has an allergy to the Constitution, should not sit on a seat in Congress." Therefore, the PP has registered an initiative so that the formulas of oath are only valid if elected deputies deliberately abide by the Constitution to swear their office.
On the proposal presented by the GPP, Garcia Egea has said he expects both the PSOE and the other parties to support it and not happen as in the last legislature, when they tried to stop its processing and debate.
THE ROLE OF BATET
During his appearance, the secretary general of the PP has stressed that "the law must be complied with and does not admit blackmail, connivance or exchanges".
That is why he has urged Meritxell Batet to today "suspend immediately" and "without further delay or excuses" the deputies in preventive prison for giving a blow to the State. Otherwise, he added, the PP will ask for its disapproval and will consider going to court for Justice to act.
In this regard, he recalled that Batet has received precise instructions from the Supreme Court of what he has to do regarding imprisoned politicians, so he has to execute and comply with the law. "Like Sanchez you should comply with the law and not get carried away by their desire to repeat as president," he said.
PROPOSITION OF GPP LAW
The proposed law presented today by the GPP explains that "the current law includes, in its article 2, a catalog of procedural situations excluded from the application of the pardon, however it does not include a catalog of crimes to which the grace is not applicable. of the pardon, independently of the procedural situation of the defendant; However, given the seriousness of certain types of crimes and the taxpayer thereof, it would be necessary to exclude them from the grace of pardon ".
Therefore, "without prejudice to the fact that the Popular Parliamentary Group will soon present a broader reform of this law," it is "essential to respond quickly to the majority demand of Spaniards, since, in the last few days, we have lived a unusual situation for the majority of the citizens that has generated an enormous social alarm ", increased before the possibility that the Government had the intention to pardon to those who could be condemned by the crimes of rebellion and sedition, very serious crimes against the unit of Spain .
In its letter the GPP recalls that "the figure of the pardon, the" grace of the pardon "is and must be an" exceptional remedy to comply fully or partially with the criminal responsibility imposed according to the law by the courts and tribunals, and that is only democratically 'assumable when in its concession concur the reasons of justice, equity or utility, something that is not given in this case at all ".
Therefore, the text emphasizes that "use this legal figure as a currency for political party purposes subvert the very nature of the grace of pardon, would imply an attack on the basic pillars of democracy such as the separation of powers and equality before the law and break the rules of coexistence of Spanish society.

"Some use the Constitution as a kind of weapon but they do not read it, they do not open it. We do not ask for more than that the Constitution be complied with which in its Article 31 says that the fiscal system must be progressive. Let's make a tax system in which the ones who have more, the more they pay, "Iglesias has defended.
The general secretary of Podemos, Pablo Iglesias, has participated this morning in Vigo in a meeting with Rubén Pérez, Oriana Méndez, Xaquín Pastoriza and Estela Miller, candidates and candidates of the Tide of Vigo to the City Council.
Pablo Iglesias He has begun his speech inviting the audience to reflect on everything that has happened in the last five years in our country. "I want you to remember. Five years ago no one could think of anything different from the political bipartisanship. Five years ago it was unthinkable that a national political education vindicate plurinationality anywhere in the State. We have always told the truth and that in politics does not come free. When you say that the owners of the banks send more than the deputies, when you say that the owners of the media send more than the political representatives elected by the people, you are looking for very dangerous enemies. And despite how hard they have beaten us, we are closer than ever to being part of the State Government and having governments in town halls and autonomous communities of our country ».
The general secretary of Podemos has wanted to recall articles of the Constitution that are fundamental for democracy that are not being fulfilled in Spain. "Some use the Constitution as a kind of weapon but they do not read it, they do not open it.

Let's make a tax system in which those who have more, more pay. That they pay what corresponds to them ", has detailed Churches.
To talk about the importance of democracy and the equality of opportunities guaranteed by the State when everyone complies with the Law, Iglesias began with a phrase by Nelson Mandela. "In democracy the son of a miner can become the director of the mine. The difference between a democracy and a dictatorship is that a girl born into a family without resources can study in a public school and be in life as she pleases. The difference between a dictatorship and a democracy is that, in a democracy, Anyone, regardless of their bank account, can go to a public hospital and be treated with the best means and by the best professionals and that will not depend on the charity of any millionaire, but on the State«.
On the other hand, Xaquin Pastoriza, candidate to the City Council of Vigo, has spoken that there are many things that have normalized in Vigo but also luckily the fight is one of those things. «Many inhabitants have to go out and look for a better future because unemployment is normalizing, but it's also normalizing that people fight. We have here today with us the firemen who are exposing their demands, and who ask for decent working conditions; like the telemarking workers; those of the shipyard of Vulcano; those of nursery schools; or the workers of Citroën. Those of us here have a lot in common. We have in common that we want another city model. A caretaking city where nobody is left behind »
