More than ten days after the catastrophic passage of the DANA in the province of Valencia, contradictions and lies discredit the Generalitat Valenciana’s account of the events. Why the civil protection alert Did it arrive so late to the mobile phones of Valencians? With different formulas, the answer in the PP is always the same: “The Government had the same information and did nothing”. An attack on the central Executive with which they do not answer the question because no one in the conservative party wants or knows how to answer.
What is known so far – the data is falling little by little through journalistic information because Carlos Mazón and his government are trying to cover up what happened on the afternoon of October 29 – is that the president of the Generalitat fulfilled his official agenda in the morning and then was at a meal until six in the afternoon. As reported The Confidentialdid not return to the Palau until half past six, when the province of Valencia was already flooding.
In the first version that his cabinet offered to the media, Mazón had had that day a “private lunch”, which later became a “working lunch”but at five in the afternoon he was already in his office monitoring the weather situation. They lied.
The truth finally became known this Friday: Mazón had lunch with the journalist Maribel Vilaplana to offer her the direction of the Á Punt channel, the regional radio and television station of the Valencian Country. This is what the newspaper reported The Spanish. He president of the Generalitat arrived two hours late to the key Cecopi meeting where the decisions were made about how to act before DANA and delayed the actions because, according to what he said The Confidentialhe had to be informed of the situation at seven in the afternoon despite the fact that his team – and Alberto Núñez Feijóo’s management – insisted that he was “informed at all times.”
But, to the disappearance of Mazón there is added distrust about the role of Salomé Pradas, the Minister of Justice and Interior of the Generalitat Valenciana and responsible for the emergency area. Different information about The Confidential and elDiario.es They point out that the technicians present at the key DANA Cecopi meeting on Tuesday found themselves with a doubtful councilor, without executive capacity and little information. Furthermore, like Mazón’s cabinet, it has been proven that he has lied in recent days.
Mazón’s team, questioned
Pradas defended this Thursday that he found out at eight in the afternoon, after a call from the Secretary of State for the Environment, Hugo Morán, that there was a mass alert system called ES-Alert that they could use. Morán denied that he asked him to activate it during that conversation and an audio from inside the Cecopi in which Pradas can be heard published this Friday by the SER Chain shows that at 7:15 p.m. the possibility of sending the alert to the population was already being discussed. The reality is that the counselor waited for Mazón.
Furthermore, the Minister of Justice also denied that the Government Delegation had offered her the EMU, but that it was she who asked to activate it. As the BEPilar Bernabé, the Government delegate in the Valencian Country, called her three times on Tuesday morning to offer her resources, but she rejected him. It was in a fourth conversation, at 2:00 p.m., when he asked to activate the UME but only in the municipality of Utiel.
