More lore:
Aimed to modernize Spain's water management for agriculture, hydroelectric power, and industry, Spain built many dams during Franco's regime (1939-1975). The construction of dams was part of the regime's policy to reduce Spain's reliance on foreign energy and Franco boasted of the dams being symbols of self-sufficiency and progress.
Enter the coalition known as "Dam Removal Europe".
According to the "Dam Removal Progress Report" from 2021, Spain was a role model, receiving praise from the greens for having demolished up to 108 dams and related structures that year. Leading over Sweden (40), France (39) or Finland (16) doing a poor job by comparison.
Now, inexplicably, Spain is experiencing floods.
