Angel Victor Torres He has used his appearance in the Congress of Deputies for two things. On the one hand, he has defended the Government’s management of the crisis triggered by DANA. On the other hand, it has highlighted the ineffectiveness of Carlos Mazón in the first hours – and in the hours before – of the cold drop. After the first intervention of the Minister of Territorial Policy and Democratic Memory, several of the forces that make up the parliamentary arch have demanded the resignation of the president of the Generalitat Valenciana. The Valencian has done it with special intensity Agueda Micódeputy spokesperson for Add and member of Commitments.
The minister, whose appearance he himself has requested, has carried out a detailed chronology of the first moments in which the situation caused by DANA began to get out of control on the day October 29. He explained that that same morning, between 7:31 a.m. and 9:41 a.m., the AEMET confirmed the “red notice” for the areas of the southern and northern coasts and also the province of Valencia. At 12:07 p.m., it continued, the Júcar Hydrographic Confederation reported that the flow of the Rambla del Poyo had increased. He has insisted, on the other hand, that in no case is it the responsibility of the Confederation to send alerts. Yes, however, of the Valencian Generalitat.
The minister also pointed out that at 7:17 p.m. the Valencian Country raised the alert level to the second level for the province of Valencia. At 8 p.m., “a message was sent massive alert message to the population through an SMS” and at 8:36 p.m. the intervention of the UME was requested for the entire province of Valencia.
Torres’s greatest criticism of Mazón has come just at the end of that chronology. The minister has stated that, when that message was sent to the population and the services of the UME were requested for Valencia, “significant rains and floods had already occurred, and the situation was objectively dramatic“In addition, he has insisted on all calls from the central government to the Generalitat of the Valencian Country that were not answered.
In the turns of the parliamentary groups, Commitments, Republican Left (ERC) and Can They have been the hardest groups against Mazón and have demanded his resignation. Agueda Micófrom Compromís, has harshly criticized Mazón’s absence in the first hours of DANA. “The president of the Generalitat I didn’t pick up the phone“, he insisted: “What a shame president and what a shame for the Popular Party, which does not dismiss him.”
Also Gabriel Rufian (ERC) has charged against Mazón and has accused the PP of justifying its actions with “lies that cost lives“In addition, he has rejected the maxim – very repeated these days – that “the people save the people.” He has corrected it: “The people save the people if they are organized and if they do not vote for those who mistreat them.” He has pointed out , in that sense, that “a people without state structures “It is the wet dream of figures like Donald Trump or Isabel Díaz Ayuso.”
He People’s Party (PP), in the mouth of the deputy Oscar Sanchezhas attributed the errors in the management of DANA to the Government and not to the Generalitat. “The Sánchez Government has failed,” he said, while once again insisting that the Executive should have increased the level of emergency. Other formations such as Basque Nationalist Party (PNV) or Canarian Coalition They have asked that the sharing of blame stop and that all efforts be focused on the reconstruction tasks of the area and the improvement of forecasting systems.
He has also spoken in those terms Josep Maria Cerveraof Together for Cataloniawhich has also taken the opportunity to disfigure Pedro Sánchez of any hint of a link between the disaster caused by DANA and the approval of the General State Budgets.
Creation of a High Commissioner
Torres took advantage of the appearance to announce the creation, by the Council of Ministers, of a High Commissioner “to meet the demands of the affected citizens.” He has insisted that the priority of the Executive is to “put in place all the necessary instruments and capabilities, with the permanent commitment with those affected by the General Administration of the State with those affected”.
This Tuesday morning, not even the President of the Government was present in the chamber, Pedro Sanchezwho is at the Climate Summit in Azerbaijan, nor the head of the opposition, Alberto Núñez Feijóo.
