The president of the acting Government, Pedro Sánchez, has moved this morning to the towns of Orihuela (Alicante) and Los Alcázares (Murcia), two of the areas most affected by the cold drop that has severely affected southeast Spain.

Sanchez has promised that the Executive "is not going to spare any kind of material or human resource" and has assured that "the response" to "this crisis of civil protection" is guaranteed.

"The delegates of the Government are in contact with the different administrations to start assessing the damage. Now it is very premature, we must wait for the water level to drop." Once that happens, the central government is willing, the president added, to "rebuild and recover from the material point of view the damage caused by the Dana."

Before his appearance at Los Álcázares, Pedro Sánchez has briefly visited Orihuela. Its passage through the city of Alicante, one of the most affected by the flood of the Segura River due to the Dana that has affected the Spanish southeast, has lasted just over half an hour.

The acting President of the Government has arrived at 12:35 in the morning and has met with the command operation at the City Council of Orihuela. He has subsequently greeted some neighbors who were outside the town hall and who asked the Government for help. "We will be here," Sanchez told one of the neighbors.

Next, the entourage has gone to the old bridge located on the Segura River as it passes through the city. He has observed the state of the channel, accompanied by the acting minister, Fernando Grande-Marlaska and the Government delegate, Juan Carlos Fulgencio. A little more than two minutes later, he got back in the car and headed for the region of Murcia, where he visited the Alcazares area.
