Almost two weeks after DANA fatally struck the province of Valencia and some areas of Castilla-La Mancha, the focus of the tragedy is now turning towards politics, with eyes on the possible responsibilities of both the Valencian government and the Executive. by Pedro Sánchez. An issue that points directly to Carlos Mazón, whom public opinion asked for his resignation in a massive demonstration on Saturday, and that the popular people want to transfer to all administrations, since they understand that the errors have been widespread, although they look to the future: « There will be time to do some type of analysis. Borja Sémper, national spokesperson for the Popular Party, avoided at all times supporting Carlos Mazón’s management of the crisis and reiterated the position of the national leadership – contrary to that of the Valencian leader – that the ideal path to address the disaster was been the declaration of a national emergency. “There was a lack of will to declare it,” explained Sémper, who recalled the words of Alberto Núñez Feijóo on the matter. In any case, the spokesperson avoided direct criticism of any member of the central government, taking refuge in a state party position promoted, precisely, by Feijóo himself. «We are not going to get into the mud so that politics becomes more poisoned. We are aware that there will be those who are tempted to do so and want to take advantage of this crisis to advance some political project and we are not going to be there. We are not going to harass and demolish the current Government, but if it had been the other way around we would not have received this treatment. We are not the same and we want to show it,” he noted.

An appearance that we would have liked to have been reciprocal by the President of the Government, but we sadly see that it will not be like that,” explained Sémper. PP sources believe that it is not a question of the agenda, Sánchez will attend the Climate Summit this week, because “he could have called an extraordinary plenary session to give explanations and he has not done so. The reality is that Sánchez goes to Congress very little. Criticisms that are made behind closed doors, because it has been Feijóo himself who has given orders so that the ink is not charged against the Government with the DANA matter. A decision that has found detractors within the training, but which is respected. “That’s not the point now,” said Sémper, who hinted that the PP will support the Royal Decree on aid for Valencians, which he hopes will include what the party itself has requested through a letter to Minister Félix Bolaños. Beyond the management of DANA, which did not find words of support for President Mazón from Genoa, the steering committee addressed the possible election of Teresa Ribera as vice president of the European Commission. An election that will be addressed on Tuesday and that for the PP would be a bad decision. “We consider that she is not the best candidate nor the most competent and our colleagues in Europe have this consideration as well,” said Sémper without specifying whether the Spanish MEPs of the PP will vote against or if their colleagues from the European PP will also do so. «We don’t want her as vice president, but we are not going to speculate. If we wanted to have said the meaning of our vote we would have done so,” explain PP sources, who would not take a dim view of the candidacy of another Spanish socialist leader for that position. «Our problem is with Teresa Ribera. If they don’t choose her, we would be happy,” these same sources point out. Finally, the PP warned of the judicial week that awaits Pedro Sánchez and the Government, with appearances in investigative commissions and in court for some members close to the Executive and the president’s family environment, such as the appearance of his wife, Begoña Gómez, in the investigative commission of the Madrid Assembly or the testimony of Íñigo Errejón in court, accused of sexual assault.
