  • The arrival of a pellet spill on the Galician coasts demands a coordinated institutional response.
  • The PSOE and the left seek to assign artificial political responsibility to the PP, comparing this incident with that of the Prestige in 2002.
  • The Prosecutor's Office is investigating the discharge of 25,000 kilos of microplastics, but environmental groups diminish the impact on the ecosystem, and the Xunta maintains that the material is not 'toxic'.
  • The government ignored Portugal's warning about the loss of 'hazardous waste'.
  • Alfonso Rueda has declared a level 2 alert, which would allow the mobilization of state resources.
  • The Galician president is showing a defensive attitude to protect the fishing sector.

Conclusion: Promoting a clear environmental conscience and treating the incident with the due importance could prevent its use as a political instrument.
