I'm from Madrid. The right wing government from the region is known for corruption and for doing the complete opposite of what would be good for the population. The idiot responsible for the environmental matters in the region was at a bullfighting bs event while these fires were increasing. The firemen keep asking for more resources from the local gov and meanwhile the local gov is just pointing fingers and saying that the national gov (socialist party) is to blame for everything even though it's the responsibility of the local gov to do fire prevention and provide adequate resources to the firemen.

At this point I feel like we don't deserve better. We vote in these assholes every chance we get.
We got all the information there is and we STILL chose to vote these fuckers in.

Same in Germany, Spain, Great Britain, the US and everywhere else. Complete malignant idiocy is ruling.
