“They tell me that.” “They tell me that.” “The media is hiding that.” The proliferation of false messages on social networks about the consequences of DANA in Valencia has contributed to heightening the anxiety that an unprecedented tragedy has generated in a society broken by pain, indignant and in need of help.
The last of the hoaxes that have circulated, regarding the work to access the Bonaire flooded underground car parkassures that the management of the shopping center has reported that at the time of the flood there were 700 active vehicle tickets. Anyone who has ever gone to this leisure area knows that access to the parking lot is free and there is not even a control barrier.
“I’m fed up,” one of the volunteers who is helping the emergency services to remove the vehicles piled up on the streets of ground zero with their tractor commented on social media this Monday. Their indignation stems from the numerous messages that circulate claiming that reality is being hidden.
Nando Durá, a farmer from Sueca, along with his colleague Raúl, from Massanassa, were with the firefighters on Friday in one of the flooded tunnels that connect Alfafar and Benetússer. This underpass between both Valencian towns devastated by the storm became a mousetrap for many vehicles that were circulating in the area and were swept away by the current.
“I removed between 100 and 150 cars and we did not remove any bodies”explains Nando in a telephone conversation with ABC. “The Judicial Police were there prepared in case it was necessary to intervene and the firefighters were checking vehicle by vehicle before we took them to an adjacent garden,” he asserts. “We did not stop working at any time because no bodies were found,” he says.
A clarification that, he says, he is forced to make in the face of the countless people who reject his version, confirmed by Civil Guard sources to the media that published the good news, also accused of lying.
In any case, It is not the same tunnel of the area in which the members of the Provincial Firefighters Consortium of the Malaga Provincial Council who went to Alfafar assured Europa Press on Friday that they had managed to bail out the water, which had reached seven meters high. Inside they did find “30-40 vehicles, with victims inside,” as indicated to the aforementioned agency.
