This Friday, June 26, Carlos Alsina brings us the stories to start the morning: From the search for survivors in the rubble of the South American country to the fire that has already burned 40 square kilometers in Huesca. #venezuela #huesca https://www.ondacero.es/noticias/mund... Venezuela faces a humanitarian tragedy after the double earthquake that has shaken the country and left hundreds dead and thousands injured. While Spain sends rescue teams and sets up emergency phone lines for those affected, Pedro Sánchez arrives at the PSOE Federal Committee under increasing internal and political pressure. In addition, Aragon is battling the first major wildfire of the summer, which has several municipalities under lockdown and evacuated. This is how Carlos Alsina summarizes the day's main news. Venezuela raises death toll to 235 after double earthquake First, the current situation in Venezuela. More than 24 hours after the double earthquake of magnitudes 7.2 and 7.5, the latest official count reports 235 dead and 157 missing, although various citizen initiatives estimate that more than 20,000 people may still be missing. Among them are 80 Spaniards, as confirmed by the Minister of Foreign Affairs, José Manuel Albares, who also raised the number of Spanish citizens killed in this catastrophe to two. The latest official figures were provided this morning by the Venezuelan Minister of Health, Carlos Alvarado, who placed the number of injured at 4,300. Last night, Foreign Minister Diosdado Cabello appeared in La Guaira, urging calm among the population and announcing the reinforcement of the rescue operation with the arrival of 11,500 military personnel. The priority remains rescuing the approximately 200 people who may still be trapped under the rubble. As we have been reporting since yesterday, these are provisional figures, and authorities do not rule out the possibility that the death toll will continue to rise as rescue efforts progress. Numerous countries have already announced the dispatch of humanitarian aid to Venezuela. In the case of Spain, a plane carrying 59 members of the Military Emergency Unit (UME), 8 canine units, and 40 specialists from ERICAM, the Community of Madrid's rapid response team for major disasters, took off this morning. Sánchez faces a Federal Committee meeting marked by internal pressure After confirming twice this week that he lacks sufficient parliamentary support to continue governing, Pedro Sánchez faces the Socialist Party's biggest event of the year tomorrow: the PSOE Federal Committee meeting. Some leaders are even going further, demanding that Sánchez step down, following Keir Starmer's example, to facilitate the creation of an interim leadership committee that would convene an extraordinary Federal Congress and elect a new PSOE leader. These voices warn of the serious crisis of credibility the party is experiencing after various cases of alleged corruption. Political pressure increased yesterday when Congress approved a motion urging the president to call a vote of confidence or dissolve Parliament. The initiative passed by an absolute majority with the votes of the PP, Vox, and Junts, the same result that had occurred the day before in the Senate. Despite the growing evidence that Sánchez has lost the support of many of the groups that enabled his investiture in 2023, the president reacted to the vote result with applause and smiles. These were the subsequent comments from some of his parliamentary partners. Aragon battles the first major wildfire of the summer The fire that broke out yesterday in the Tamarite de Litera region of Huesca has become the first major wildfire of the summer and the worst recorded in Aragon since 2022. The flames have affected an area of ​​approximately 40 square kilometers, although the exact extent of the burned area is still unknown. Initial investigations suggest that the fire may have originated from a spark from an agricultural vehicle. The fire spread rapidly due to the warm winds and high temperatures. The president of Aragon, Jorge Azcón, expressed his concern last night from the command post set up in the town of Alcampell and expressed hope that the drop in temperatures overnight would help to slow the spread of the flames. As a preventative measure, the Government of Aragon issued an ES-Alert to the 900 residents of Fonz, recommending that they stay indoors and keep their doors and windows closed. In addition, another 240 residents were evacuated from the municipalities of Azanuy, Alins, and Calasanz, while several roads remain closed for safety reasons.
