The third vice president of the Government and Minister of Ecological Transition, Teresa Ribera, will appear this Wednesday in the Congress and the Senate to explain his department’s management of the floods caused by DANA on October 29. The President of the Government, Pedro Sánchez, has once again given his support, Ana Verdejo says in the video. Before, the usual Government control session is held.
Teresa Ribera asked to appear in the plenary session of Congress this Wednesday to report on the management of the dana.
Furthermore, this Tuesday it emerged that the request that the PP had made for him to also appear in the Senate plenary session has been included in the order of this Wednesday’s plenary session, so that both will take place just a few hours apart.
Thus, Ribera is scheduled to appear before the Plenary Session of Congress once the Government control session that begins at 9:00 a.m. concludes. His appearance in the Upper House is scheduled to begin at 6:00 p.m.
Teresa Ribera’s position in Europe, at stake
The Popular Party has pointed out on various occasions to the inaction of the vice president during the dana to the point that it has achieved through the European People’s Party postpone the election of the new Commission -in which Ribera would occupy one of the Vice-Presidencies- until his explanations are produced at the parliamentary headquarters in Spain.
The President of the Government, Pedro Sánchez, has once again defended Ribera’s management since the G20 summit in Brazil. “Spain has one of its best, which is Teresa Ribera,” he assured.
The number of fatalities recorded due to dana amounts to 227: 219 in the Valencian Community, 7 in Castilla-La Mancha and one in Andalusia, according to the latest official data.
