\nThe \u00a0Galician national spokeswoman\u00a0, Ana Pont\u00f3n, has recently made a passionate appeal for urgent financial support as the region grapples with a severe wave of wildfires, particularly affecting \u00a0Ourense\u00a0. She outlined her requests during a press conference in \u00a0Poio\u00a0 (Pontevedra), marking the day known as \u00a0Galiza M\u00e1rtir\u00a0. Her foremost demand is for the provision of \u00a0200 million euros\u00a0 from an extraordinary fund specifically created to tackle the \u00a0devastation\u00a0 caused by these fires.\n<\/p>\n

\nDuring the press conference, Pont\u00f3n emphasized that the \u00a0current priority\u00a0 should be to enhance resources and ensure efficient coordination among existing efforts. She expressed her concerns that the \u00a0Xunta\u00a0, Galicia\u2019s regional government, appears overwhelmed in its response to the crisis, indicating that \u00a0political responsibilities\u00a0 must be examined and addressed.\n<\/p>\n

\n\u201cThere are responsibilities both in the management of the fires and in the lack of action over the years regarding the \u00a0prevention\u00a0 and \u00a0care\u00a0 of our natural environment,\u201d Pont\u00f3n lamented. She believes that while accountability needs to be established, the immediate focus must be on \u00a0extinguishing the flames\u00a0 as swiftly as possible.\n<\/p>\n

Urgent Measures Needed<\/h2>\n

\nRecognizing the devastating impact of the wildfires, Pont\u00f3n has called for the approval of a comprehensive \u00a0measures plan\u00a0 aimed at combating the effects of the fire outbreak. This initiative includes the allocation of \u00a0200 million euros\u00a0 as an emergency fund to aid both individuals who have suffered losses and municipalities that require resources to restore the \u00a0municipal heritage\u00a0 that has been destroyed.\n<\/p>\n

\nThe BNG leader, expressing urgency, has highlighted the need for economic contributions to facilitate immediate assistance for affected areas. \u201cWe need to act now to help those who have lost not only their homes but also \u00a0part of their history,\u00a0\u201d she emphasized.\n<\/p>\n

A Call for Change in Forest Management<\/h2>\n

\nPont\u00f3n characterized the current crisis as a \u00a0\u201cturning point\u201d\u00a0 for Galicia, suggesting that this catastrophe should prompt substantial changes in how forest management is conducted. She criticized the repetitive cycle of wildfires occurring every few years without adequate measures being established to mitigate their effects. \u201cIt\u2019s unacceptable to witness such devastation time and time again without learning from the past,\u201d she concluded.\n<\/p>\n

\nIn her statements, Pont\u00f3n outlined the necessity for a shift toward a more \u00a0sustainable\u00a0 and diversified model of forestry. This includes moving away from monocultural practices involving \u00a0pyrophytic\u00a0 species, which are particularly vulnerable to wildfires. Instead, she advocates for the development of a multifunctional mountain landscape, where diverse species can thrive and reduce the risk of catastrophic fires.\n<\/p>\n

\nFurthermore, Pont\u00f3n insists that attention must also be directed towards reforming the \u00a0extinguishing services\u00a0 and addressing the ongoing neglect of rural environments. She believes that enhancing local conditions will play a significant role in preventing future wildfires and ensuring a more resilient ecosystem.\n<\/p>\n

\nIn summary, \u00a0Galicia\u00a0 stands at a critical juncture, faced with one of the most devastating wildfire outbreaks in recent history. The urgencies highlighted by Ana Pont\u00f3n serve not only to address immediate needs but also to prompt a \u00a0transformational shift\u00a0 in policies concerning forest management and environmental protection. As the flames continue to pose a threat, the region must rally together to implement effective long-term solutions to prevent future disasters and safeguard its precious natural heritage. The calls for financial support and strategic reforms highlight an essential moment for political accountability and environmental stewardship in Galicia.\n<\/p>\n
