The third vice president and minister for the Ecological Transition and the Demographic Challenge, Teresa Riberastated this Monday that he will appear – at his own request – in the Plenary Session of Congress next Wednesday, November 20 to account for its management of DANA, as confirmed to ‘Europa Press’ by government sources.
In detail
In recent days, the PP has demanded the appearance of Ribera, whom it accuses of inaction in the management of DANA and of being more focused on preparing for the exam in Brussels than on the activity of his Ministryalthough she defends that she was aware at all times and even tried to contact, without success, the president of the Valencian Community, Carlos Mazón.
Vice President Ribera assured last Friday that she managed to speak with Mazón after calling him four times on Tuesday the 29th, once she perceived the “worry” in the CECOPI due to the “difficulty” in decision-making and the “severity of the situation” from DANA, which officially leaves 222 confirmed fatalities, 214 in the province of Valencia.
More points to take into account
Likewise, the Ministry for the Ecological Transition stressed that the minister was “working and reachable” telematically from Brussels on Tuesday the 29th and, a day later, returned to Madrid to physically join the DANA crisis committees that Moncloa promoted after the tragedy.
In this context, the Valencian president reproached the vice president for not being interested in the situation “of the DANA that has affected several towns in the province of Valencia “until 8:00 p.m.” from last Tuesday, October 29. “I would ask the minister: Did the flood warning have to come? ¿Did the alert have to come?“he questioned.
