The Spin
Narrative A
Spain's poor track record of substandard infrastructure planning has profoundly contributed to Valencia's tragic fire. Thursday's tragedy could have been prevented if the building hadn't been covered with highly combustible polyurethane cladding, which is no longer in widespread use. The builder must be charged with manslaughter and negligence, while the government must work towards a concrete infrastructure plan to avoid such incidents.
Narrative B
It's still unclear what caused the blaze, but the authorities have deployed emergency personnel, paramedics, and military units to aid all affected people. Meanwhile, the government is determined to bring anyone responsible for the terrible fire to justice. However, as this is an unprecedented tragedy, the priority right now is to find the survivors, secure the area, and care for the victims' families —then begin a detailed probe.
