The disastrous flood affected east Spain, consuming human possessions and hundreds of lives. Bitter residents blame the government for deficiency of appropriate preparation and warning, which has increased chaos and contributed to expanding the disastrous effects of flooding. However, the right-wing opposition to the disaster may have contributed to the European Union's recommended programme to reconstruct the natural course of rivers. In fresh decades, hundreds of elements of flood infrastructure have disappeared from Spain. The authorities deny that the program may have anything to do with the tragic harvest that has taken place in the east of the country.
The function of disposing of flood infrastructure in the cataclysm was noted by the president of the right-wing VOX party, Santiago Abascal. The politician in strong words responded to Ursula von der Leyen's statement, which argued that the natural disaster was a consequence of a "climate change".
“If they are guilty, then you are the first of them with your criminal law to blow up there. You are an enemy of the Spaniards”, the president of the European Commission of politicians has said. The head of the right-wing group besides accused the German female of "a despicable act of scavengerry", as he stated in his opinion an effort to usage the tragedy of the victims to strengthen the climate narrative.
Santiago Abascal's words sparked a heated dispute over how much environmental policy contributed to the disaster. There is no uncertainty that flood infrastructure has indeed disappeared from Spain in fresh years. The motivation for the removal of reservoirs, water thresholds or another dams was that they were conducive to drought. akin action is besides justified by the restoration of "the biodiversity of rivers".
According to Gaceta.es, over 560 elements of flood infrastructure have been removed in the country over the last decades. It has besides not seen any planned expansion. According to the medium, in 2005 Prime Minister Zapatero resigned from building the dam in strategical terms of the fresh flood site. The facility would hold immense amounts of water in the late flooded area today.
In particular, fresh years have increased the programme for the demolition of water infrastructure components. According to “La gaceta” in 2021 alone, as many as 108 objects of this kind were abandoned. This “no doubt” has contributed to floods in areas peculiarly affected by the fresh disaster, the editorial service considers.
Similar claims were met with strong criticism of the government. The Ministry of Environmental Transformation ensured that no crucial barriers were removed in strategically for the last flood of places. Only tiny elements of the flood network were to be removed. In the ministry's note, he assured that the removal of barriers was only applicable to jazas or mills, alternatively than large, crucial there.
Many media criticized Abasca's position, claiming that his words were due to ignorance and to a crucial over-review of the degree of the deregulation task being conducted. "No crucial dam has late been liquidated in the Valencian Community", reported the eldiario.es portal.
