It is known to be his only act of rebellion in his 89 years of life.

It also reduces to two years the accessory penalty of special disqualification from exercising the right to passive suffrage.

With thousands of people evacuated and more than 150,000 hectares burned this year in Spain, one of the main questions among those affected is who pays for the damages and what aid they can receive.
