The president of the Popular Party, Alberto Núñez Feijóo, has publicly conveyed his support following the death of a military member of the Military Emergency Unit (UME) in a traffic accident recorded during the operation to extinguish the forest fire in Las Peñas de Riglos (Huesca).
"My deepest condolences to the family of the UME military member who died while heading to extinguish a fire," he wrote on 'X', where he also wished a speedy recovery to two other members of the battalion who were injured in the accident.
Feijóo has thanked "those who work to protect us from fire." "All solidarity to those affected," he added.
For his part, the president of Aragon, Jorge Azcón, explained that one of the fire trucks involved in the firefighting efforts suffered an accident, in which one of its occupants lost their life and two others were injured, one of them transferred to the Miguel Servet Hospital in Zaragoza. He insisted, however, that it be the Civil Guard that provides more information about what happened.
