Political Brawl Between Ayuso and Puente in the Midst of the Fire Emergency: "Mamarratxo"

Summary

The temperature is also rising in the political environment due to the confrontations between representatives of the central and regional governments, in this case, personalized in two of the most controversial and polemical politicians in their statements.
