A new audio, published by TVE, has returned to contradict the version of the Minister of Justice and Interior of the Valencian Generalitat, Salomé Pradas, after he denied that the Government delegation offered the help of the Army on the morning of October 29, when the passage of the DANA was already wreaking its first havoc in the province of Valencia.
That October 29, at 7:30 in the morning, Aemet had already published the red notice for the storm. Two hours later, at 9:30, the Government delegate, Pilar Bernabé, met with members of the UME, Civil Guard, Adif, Aemet or the Júcar Hydrographic Confederation, among others, to analyze the situation. He also held conversations with the mayors of the affected municipalities.
Barnabas He offered the help of the UME up to three times to the emergency counselor: at 12:23, 12:48 and 2:00 p.m., according to the chronology published by TVE. “I deny that at that moment she offered the deployment of the UME at a specific point,” Salomé Pradas declared this Thursday.
However, in the meeting that the counselor held with her collaborators, around 12:45 p.m. that day, she spoke about that offer. “The UME has made itself available to move here,” Pradas said in the audio revealed by TVE. At 2:00 p.m., the councilor requested the presence of the unit, but only in the municipality of Utiel, and called the meeting of the coordination center at 5:00 p.m., to which the president of the Generalitat, Carlos Mazón, arrived two hours late. .
Other audio published this Thursday revealed that during this meeting, around 7:15 p.m., they were already discussing the possibility of sending an alert to the populationwhich contradicts Pradas’ version, which claimed to be unaware of the existence of this mechanism until 8:00 p.m. that day. Finally, the alert through the ES-Alert system was sent at 8:11 p.m.
