• Thousands of tiny plastic granules from a ship have washed up on Galician beaches, turning into a political issue.
• Several political leaders are using this incident as a campaign point for the upcoming elections in Galicia.
• The Xunta de Galicia could be sued for inaction over this spill.
• The plastic granules are not toxic to humans but potentially harmful to marine fauna.
• Comparing the granules spill with the Prestige disaster is questionable.

Conclusion: Balanced responses and solutions are needed from political leaders, rather than exploiting the incident for political and electoral purposes.
