The president of the Generalitat, Carlos Mazónhas asked to stop “the hoaxes and lies” about his actions on the afternoon of October 29, the day DANA arrived, in which it has insisted that I was not incommunicado and has stated that the Government “is falling into one contradiction after another“through” its entities. In addition, it has advanced that “shortly” They will announce the changes within the Consell to “make the best government prepared and adequate for recovery” after the storm.
Mazón, who made these statements before attending the meeting of the Integrated Operational Coordination Center (Cecopi) at the L’Eliana Emergency Coordination Center, wondered why if the Government had information through Aemet that the Forata dam could break “did not take command” of emergencies.
Once at Cecopi, he commented that they are “working” on changes in the Consell, which will include a new “vice presidency for economic and social recovery” and a Ministry of Emergencies and the Interior. Furthermore, he took the opportunity to emphasize that does not plan to “scrimp, demand and demand” to the Government “everything that its “land and the Valencians deserve”. “At all times, in every race, every rehabilitation, every help,” he stressed.
Also, he has criticized that “now it turns out that part of the aid (from the Government) are to be returned“. “In other words, they are going to give us aid so that we can return it. “Is this another strategy again?” he added. All this when he recalled that the Generalitat calculated that the Government must contribute 31,000 million euros for recovery. “And they barely give us a third,” he reproached. “We are not going to stop demanding absolutely nothing so that the pace is what the people deserve.”
The Government and Aemet
Before his arrival at the Integrated Operational Coordination Center, Mazón wanted to share information about the day of the tragedy. “If it is true that the Government, through Aemet, thought or had information that (the failure of) the dam was imminent at that time at 5:30 p.m., why did it not take command?Why didn’t you force that ES-Alert to be sent?? “Why, if it was in the Cecopi?” 80,000 people.”
“Do you mean to tell me that at 5:30 p.m. the Government already knew that 80,000 lives of Valencians could be in danger and it does not take command because supposedly here in the Cecopi, in a body where the Government itself is a part, They are foundering or they are not knowing how to make decisions“?” he insisted.
Mazón has stated that the person who has to respond to this is the central government which, as he has said, is falling “into one contradiction after another through its entities.” “It’s enough to deceive peoplebecause what has happened is very serious to be changing the story with the UME yes or with the UME no, or if the president was incommunicado,” he added.
The accusation that Mazón was held incommunicado for five hours on the day the floods occurred is “lie” and it is “one of the biggest hoaxes of all this time,” he expressed, to insist that spoke with the mayor of Cullera at 6:28 p.m. to ask him how the situation was and he told him that it was raining and that they did not expect big problems, and with “more others.”
“I was not incommunicado at any time”
The president of the Generalitat has indicated that an effort is being made for recovery and, with “everything that is happening, with this tremendous pain”, It’s “exhausting to be denying lies” and hoaxes permanently.” One of them and the most important, he said, is the one that indicates that he was incommunicado for five hours: “I was not incommunicado at any time. The Cecopi was established at 5:00 p.m., and at 5:30 p.m. I was already receiving calls and answering calls from the councilor, the president of the Provincial Council…”.
The only communication problems, he pointed out, occurred when arriving at the Cecopi meeting because phone lines were down. Likewise, he has argued that he maintained his plan for the day because “everyone was prepared” and a body of which he, he has reiterated, is not a part of was validly constituted.
Another of the hoaxes, according to Mazón, refers to his attendance at that meeting, since at that time it was already “validly constituted by all its members”, and he is not part of that body and “no one waited for the president of the Generalitat to make decisions“, which were being taken based on the information arriving, including the preparation and sending of the Es-Alert message, “based on the obvious risk that the Forata dam would overflow or break.” He reiterated that it would be It was impossible for him to be expected to make technical decisions, since “there would be no reaction capacity at all.”
He has also cited the UME to say that it is capable “of saying at the same time that without the authorization of the Generalitat it could not be activated, I couldn’t do anything and, at the same time, a few days later he says that before the authorization of the Generalitat it was already operating, it was already working. “What are we left with?”
Mazón has accused the general secretary of the PSPV-PSOE and Minister of Science, Diana Morant, of contradiction, pointing out: “He goes from saying that he is going to support our budgets to asking for my resignation.“In addition, he wonders if the situation of the vice president and Minister of Ecological Transition, Teresa Ribera, has changed and now “everything is an argument and a political calculation to try to reverse that situation of Teresa Ribera or the Ministry.” .
