- What are the PP's main criticisms of the government's response?
- Gamarra specifically requested at least 31.4 billion euros in aid, a sum that still doesn't cover necessary infrastructure repairs. She emphasized that the aid should be swift and not contingent on the budget approval process.
- What did Cuca Gamarra say about Donald Trump's election victory?
- While expressing support for Mazón's efforts in Valencia, Gamarra did not explicitly endorse his request for a state of emergency, but noted that Feijóo discussed this decision with him. She also congratulated Donald Trump on his election victory and expressed hopes for peace.
- What specific areas does the PP want aid to be directed towards?
- The PP criticizes the government's response as slow and politically motivated, contrasting it with the swift action taken at the regional level. Gamarra highlighted the need for immediate aid for housing, infrastructure, and other essential services.
- What is the PP's stance on the royal decree addressing the DANA storm's damage?
- The PP (People's Party) will vote in favor of the royal decree on measures against the damage caused by the DANA storm, but demands significantly more aid, at least three times the announced amount of 10.6 billion euros.
