“On the 29th of each month we will take to the streets again” until Mazón resigns. “It is a social cry,” he assured. He asks Feijóo to dismiss him, “as they did with Camps.” On the day of the dana, he indicated, Mazón “was not acting as president of the Generalitat, but as president of the PP to give public television to a journalist.” He is a “lying president who is hidden, cornered, in an unsustainable situation,” according to Muñoz. “Reconstruction is not only material, but also ethical and moral,” he stated.
