The leader of the PP Ester Muñoz has suggested this Wednesday, to blame the Government for the deaths in Valencia, that the Generalitat Valenciana of Carlos Mazón put “the population at risk” in the key hours of October 29, the day of the DANA , because they made “untimely decisions.” Muñoz has pointed out from the Congress platform to a “possible fraud” on the part of the third vice president, Teresa Ribera, and the Government delegate in the community, Pilar Bernabé, for not having taken control from the autonomous authorities, for which they He has wished “luck” in court.
Muñoz has been chosen by Alberto Núñez Feijóo to confront Ribera in his appearance in Congress to respond to his role in the management of DANA, which has caused more than 200 deaths, dozens of missing persons and material losses worth billions. of euros. Responsible for Education and Health in the leadership of the PP, Muñoz is from León, a fact that Ribera wanted to record in one of his responses in the face of the silence of the deputies from the affected areas.
The current spokesperson for the PP has directly accused Ribera of being “guilty” of the human and material consequences of the tragedy, and while she has limited the responsibility of the Valencian Generalitat of her colleague Mazón, she has pointed out the vice president for her “lack of capacity and solvency”, in addition to an “evident lack of integrity”.
“He failed in prevention,” said Muñoz, who assured that “when his country needed him,” Ribera “hid and disappeared so as not to assume his responsibilities” and “assuming the cost of leaving so many Spaniards abandoned.” “He has been in the Government for six years saying that we must close mines, thermal plants, nuclear plants and put an end to diesel, but not clean rivers or forests. “He has dedicated himself to imposing his climate dogmatism,” he added.
The PP deputy has accused Ribera of “failing as a minister, but also as a person.” “He has not gone to the municipalities, not to take a photo, to be with them and accompany them. “It’s called empathy,” he noted. “He cannot look at the faces of the neighbors, and mayors who asked him to clean the ravines,” he added.
Muñoz has raised the tone in his rejoinder to the minister. After telling the socialist deputies and the Government that they should “study” as, she said, she has done, she pointed to the criminal responsibility of the vice president.
The PP leader recalled that in the Cecopi [el comité de crisis] “There was the Government delegate” in the Community, Pilar Bernabé. “She could have warned the Government that they were [las autoridades autonómicas] putting the population at risk, and they did not do it,” he said to ensure that the law allows the Government to “take control” “if inopportune decisions are made.” “And he didn’t do it,” he said, assuming that the Generalitat commanders made “inappropriate” decisions. “It is a textbook possible fraud, I wish you good luck defending this in court. I wish you good luck,” he concluded.
Muñoz’s statements have not gone unnoticed by Ribera, who reminded him that both the Government delegate and the representatives of the Júcar Hydrographic Confederation and the Aemet attended the Cecopi meetings that day by videoconference. In her last intervention, the vice president assured that “between six and seven in the afternoon the screen went black,” which left the state representatives out of the possible debates. “We do not know what happened at that time,” he said, because “the people from the Hydrographic Confederation, Aemet and the Government Delegation could not participate in the debate to decide what was the best thing to do.”
In a subsequent press release, the PP has once again insisted on the idea of pointing out the responsibility of the central government for the incompetence of the regional government. “He points out that in the CECOPI there was the Government delegate ‘who could have warned that they were putting the population at risk, but she did not do so,’ says the PP about Ester Muñoz’s speech. And he continues: “He denounces that, even so, they decided not to take command of the emergency for what the law allows them to do. ‘It is a textbook fraud, I wish you good luck defending this in court.’ The PP ditches: “It highlights that Teresa Ribera herself recognizes that not adapting the Barranco del Poyo ‘has been decisive’ and reminds her that she has been a minister for six years: ‘Draw your own conclusions.’
