Demonstrators called for the resignation of regional Environment Minister Juan Carlos Suárez-Quiñones and demanded better working conditions for firefighters, saying their situation is precarious.

Mañueco becomes the first regional president to appear before a parliament, as national ministers faced questions in the Senate this week, with Galicia’s leader due next.
