The president of the Generalitat of Catalonia, Salvador Illa, has positively valued the management of DANA in the community these days, whose effects of the cold drop cannot be compared with what happened in the Valencian Community. Illa has appeared in Parliament, at his own request, in a session that, precisely, was suspended last week shortly after learning of the first consequences of the intense rains. The regional president has assured that “the Government of Catalonia will be with Valencia until the end” and has recalled that “there is work there for many days, weeks and months.” Although Illa’s appearance was justified to explain the actions of the Generalitat in Catalonia to confront the DANA, whose assessment has been described as positive by the regional president, he has not hesitated to show his respect and affection to the Valencian people and ensure that the Government will be there as long as necessary helping the Generalitat Valenciana , “until the end”, but, yes, warning that “helping is doing what they ask of you, not what you want”, in a national nod to the controversial words of Pedro Sánchez, president of the Government; but he did not want to evaluate Mazón’s performance: «Valencians have a Parliament. I will not make an assessment of the performance of the Valencian Government.”No Illa standard related news: “The most intense episodes of DANA over Catalonia have ended and we are no longer on alert” E. Burés Of course, the president of the Generalitat calls “prudence” because the pre-alert for rain persists. In this sense, Illa has reported that Carlos Mazón, Valencian regional president, has asked him since the beginning of DANA in the neighboring community for a medical helicopter, in case he needed it; 80 firefighters, already replaced by another 90 firefighters, all volunteers; and forensic doctors, 12, although only five remain “on the ground.” The PSC leader has reiterated that “these services will be available as long as necessary” and added, thus denying that Mazón had rejected Catalan assistance: “I will never say that the Valencian Government has rejected our help, because it is not true.” “We are vulnerable” In relation to the general situation as a consequence of the intense rains and subsequent effects, Illa concluded his speech in the Catalan Chamber by pointing out that we must not forget that “we are vulnerable and that zero risk does not exist”; has defended “the principle of collaboration” between public administrations; has recognized that “you can always learn”, even in tragedies; and has lamented that “we have seen the goodness of many people and we have seen bad people who have taken advantage of the evil of others” in the Valencian Community. Finally, regarding Catalonia, Illa has reiterated that the Government will carry out a series of initiatives, advanced on Monday and confirmed yesterday, to act in the future with greater collaboration between municipalities and the Generalitat, for cases similar to those experienced in recent days, and the updating of a community risk map to see what can be done in flood zones. Regarding the civil protection action plan, Illa has said that of the 521 municipalities that are now required to have a plan, 225 have it in force, 238 have it expired and 58 do not have it.
