The Government manages a “quite low” number of missing people due to DANA that it still does not consider “prudence”

This is what Puente said in an interview this Monday on ‘Hora 25’ on Cadena Ser, reported by Europa Press, in which he explained that the figure made public of missing persons by DANA in the Valencian Community really corresponds to the number of reports of missing persons but “in many cases it coincides that the missing is reported by several people».

«There are people who report a disappearance and then do not update when the family member appears. And also We fear that there are people who are missing and that no one has reported that disappearance. Therefore, out of caution, the data is not being provided because talking about figures, and even more so when we are talking about people who may be dead, requires caution,” he explained, hoping that in the coming days a definitive figure can be given. of deceased people.

Maraska assures that they will publish the figure

For his part, the Minister of the Interior, Fernando Grande-Marlaska, has advanced that in “the next few days” They will announce the number of missing people.

In an interview in La Sexta, the head of the Interior indicated that the Ministry is carrying out the registration but still they cannot conclude the final figure. «The fundamental and essential reason is that once the tragic effect of DANA takes place with the devastating results in human lives, all complaint formalization centers collapse», he said.

Marlaska has asked for caution although he understands society’s concern to know the number of missing people, which will be known “in the coming days”, although he has insisted on the need to correctly compare the total number of missing people and the complaints.

The minister explained the difficulties regarding the identification of people because, as he pointed out, “they are corpses in a complicated physical situation and that also determines complexity.”
