The president of the Generalitat, Salvador Illa, has sent a "message of solidarity" to the displaced and evacuated people due to the fires declared in the Community of Madrid and in the province of Ávila, in Castilla and León.
The Catalan leader has stated this in remarks to the media from Hanoi (Vietnam), taking advantage of his official trip to Vietnam and Singapore, aimed at strengthening institutional and commercial ties with these Southeast Asian countries.
Illa has also emphasized that the Govern has sent to the Community of Madrid a team of analysts from the Grup d'Actuacions Forestals (Graf) to collaborate in the efforts to combat these fires.
