A second DANA threatens the Valencian Community, and activates new red alerts while the president Carlos Mazón is preparing political movements to try to calm the pressures on him and entrench himself in power, in the face of criticism for his management of the catastrophe. Alberto Núñez Feijóo’s leadership assumes that he will make “changes” in the Government and the leader of the PP has pressured him, publicly and privately, to be serious. These changes were scheduled to be announced in an appearance in Las Cortes, which the storm has forced to postpone until Friday.
“Sánchez has shown us a path,” explains a member of the Popular Party’s steering committee when asked about the decisions that Mazón will announce. “He has taught us to endure, right? He is going to endure,” he says. “He has an opportunity to explain himself, let’s listen to him,” says another senior PP official from Feijóo. Neither of them supports the management of the Valencian baron.
Nor does one of the regional presidents with the most weight in the party, who insists that Mazón “is going to have a very difficult time,” but that “at least, he will last until Easter.” “Reconstruction remains,” he explains. But to have any chance of recovering “he has to explain himself very well at the hearing and not as he has until now,” says the same source.
After the postponement agreed by the Valencian courts, the president of the Generalitat will appear on Friday at the regional chamber on Friday starting at eleven thirty in the morning. He will do it at his own request, but it seems that it is the leadership of his party who most wants him to do it. “I assure you that after that appearance there will be many people who feel, at least partially, comforted by the political class. I hope that is the case,” Feijóo said this Wednesday during an improvised media intervention in the Congress of Deputies after absent from the plenary session in which the Minister of Territorial Policy, Ángel Víctor Torres, appeared.
“Let’s be attentive to what he is going to say, to the commitments he is going to adopt. And let’s also be attentive to each and every one of the explanations he has to give,” said the PP leader. Feijóo has been in contact with Mazón in recent days and in Genoa they defend that if the popular baron acts as he has stated they will be satisfied.
According to some journalistic information — from the newspaper The Country and The Confidential– , he president Valencian would be willing to dismiss two of his councilors, Salome Pradashead of the Interior and the person who was at Cecopi on Tuesday, October 29, and Nuria MontesMinister of Industry. They are the most questioned, after Mazón himself. Furthermore, what PP sources do confirm is that it will give a “boost” to its government thinking about the reconstruction of the affected areas.
The entire PP hopes that the president of the Generalitat is capable of conveying self-criticism and “convincing” citizens “that it acted with the information it had,” different PP sources agree. “You have to fix the lies and the lurches of last week“says a high-ranking official.
The popular They are conspiring to ensure that the responsibility for the catastrophe falls, above all, on the central government and that is what they hope Mazón will insist on tomorrow. He president He left Feijóo alone when two days after DANA he visited Valencia and pointed out the AEMET and the Hydrographic Confederation, but a few days later, increasingly against the ropes due to the information that showed that he was absent on the afternoon of the floods, he added to the Genoa strategy.
It is what Mazón will use to resist despite the growing social unrest, the pressures from his own party and the judicial horizon that he may face. The TSJCV has already registered the first complaint against him for omission of the duty to provide assistance, omissive prevarication, reckless homicide and injuries. In office, Mazón has capacity.
