Storm Victims Demand Change After Devastating DANA

Spanish Storm Victims Demand Secular State Funeral and Climate-Conscious Reconstruction Following the devastating DANA storm in Spain, victims are demanding a secular state funeral and a shift in infrastructure reconstruction to account for climate change. In a meeting with Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez, representatives of the victims' associations presented their requests. One victim, speaking on camera, stated, "We are asking for a funeral that respects the secular nature of our country and that includes the participation of the families." Another highlighted the need for infrastructure improvements, saying, "The reconstruction cannot be done as it has been before. We need to consider climate change." The government's response to these demands will be closely watched, as the storm's impact continues to affect the lives of many.
