How is the far-right responding to forest fires in your countries? (mander.xyz)

I'm just curious how the far-right is framing these developments, and how it differs per country.

Are they mostly talking about the "pyromaniacs"?

Or about how governments failed to do organize the (supposedly normal) periodic low intensity fires to prevent the big ones?

Or are they simply not talking about it at all?

If you have any concrete links to local media, I would be very curious!

You guys have a hail prevention system?

Yes, it's a silver-iodine based thing, it prevents ice from forming in too big chunks.

I'm originally from Serbia though, they have a bit more primitive system, they fire up some very loud "fireworks", the pressure waves are powerfull enough to pulverize the larger chunks into smaller ones.

Sounds like a stupid thing to mess with? If only because you open up speculations like this?
