The Government Delegate in the Valencian Community, Pilar Bernabé, has insisted that the Generalitat is the “Single Command” of the Integrated Operational Coordination Center (Cecopi), a non -collegiate body in which “there is no need to vote because there is a command which is the one who directs ”, and has questioned that on October 29, the day that the Dana razed the province of Valencia, those responsible did not send the alert message to the population” until the president of the Generalitat does not appear ” , Carlos Mazón.
This was stated on Saturday the delegate in statements to the media in Paiporta (Valencia), after this Friday the Generalitat has transferred the judge that investigates the events of the Dana Day that at 5:00 p.m. of that day that day The Cecopi was constituted, that the Directorate of the Special Plan against the Risk of Flood was exercised by the then Minister of Justice and Interior, Salome Pradas, within a “Management Committee”, formed by it and the Government delegate in the Community in the Community , in reference to the position occupied by Pilar Bernabé.
In this sense, consulted in case the decision to send the ES-Alert message to the mobile Emergencies in the Autonomous Community “, so that person-the day of the Dana, Salomé Pradas-is” who assumes the responsibility and decisions that are made. ”
Bernabé has pointed out that on October 29, about 45 minutes after the Cecopi was constituted, Pradas asked those who were connected telematic-among them the delegate-to put out the cameras “because they were going to think about and decide what they did. ”
“When they connected again, they told us that they were going to send an es alert,” said Bernabé. Asked if at that time, Mazón was already in person at the Cecopi, the delegate has stressed that “they will have to explain why they did not send the message until the president of the Generalitat does not appear.” “What is evident is that we saw the president of the Generalitat when he had already sent ESArt,” he said.
In addition, Bernabé has affirmed that his mobile is “available to everyone so they can see what I dedicated to” during that period in which they “went to think.” Specifically, he pointed out that he was “calling mayors, asking them how they were and when the time came I asked, please, to send as soon as possible the message they had decided to send, to send it to the entire province and not only to the Baixa riverbank ”
On the message, he stressed that “the most important” was that he arrived at people without coverage, so he had conversations with the Civil Guard “to try to reach those municipalities where we knew there was nothing coverage so they could have The information before a massive avenue, either because of the breakage of Forata or by the circumstances that were taking place at that time. ”
“All this will come out”
“All this will come out because there were dozens of people connected in the Cecopi and face -to -face in the Cecopi and when we are going to explain what happened, because everyone will speak and these are the facts and the realities that happened and that will be counted, where they have to explain and where they have to count, ”he said.
He has also re -urged the Generalitat to make available the Cecopi recordings, although he has lamented that the PP and the Consell use the recordings “according to their interest.” He affirmed that, during this emergency, “the president of the Generalitat and other emergencies have referred on different occasions for Cecopi meetings to be recorded.”
“We have been told that they were recorded, that the conversations were recorded. That is another issue that people who were in the Cecopi can also attest, ”he said, while reproacheding that when they ask for the recordings” they say they do not exist. ” “If you told me that they are recorded and then they say they do not exist, it seems logical to think that something has happened. They will have accidentally erased, I don’t know, ”he has ironized.
“There is a command that runs”
Asked for her responsibility in the Cecopi, Bernabé has assured that she is responsible for the agencies that are by the Government of Spain, so that they meet “the demands made by the management of the emergency”, while insisted on That “there is a law, there is a plan that clearly explains what the powers of each one are.”
The Cecopi, has pointed out, is a coordination center and “is signed by the Department of Emergencies and by the emergency deputy director on two different occasions, one with Salome Pradas and another with Valderrama.” “In both of them, it clearly says that it is not a collegiate body,” he said.
“They explain that there are no minutes because it is not voted. Well, if you don’t vote, how do you make that decision? It is a decision that does not have to vote because there is a command that is the one who directs. It is easy to understand. The actions that have to do with the agencies are coordinated in the Cecopi; I represent the agencies that are part of the Cecopi and that are from the government. And what I try is that these agencies meet the demands of the emergency management. That is my role, ”he has detailed.
“Rewrite the story”
On the other hand, Bernabé has accused the PP of trying to “rewrite the story” with “falsehoods, bulos and tricks to cut recordings that, in addition, take out in a very malicious way and should be seen if not fraudulent.”
In this context, he believes that citizens see “what are the papers that each government has” and has assured that the Government of Spain is “in reconstruction, working, even working also in the emergency”; while the Generalitat is “subjecting” the Valencians to an “unfortunate show.”
“Honestly, we don’t deserve it. What we deserve is, first, that they assume the responsibility that they have for law, that they assume the responsibility of exercising and having exercised command during an emergency like the one we live and, from now on, that they dedicate themselves to working now Rebuild the province of Valencia, which is very missing, ”he has settled.
“Fundamental delay”
For his part, the Special Commissioner of the Government of Spain for the reconstruction and repair of the damages caused by the DANA, José María Ángel, has considered that there was a “fundamental delay in decision making”, when convening the Cecopi “to the 17.00, after 48 hours of having warned that I was going to rain. ”
According to his experience, he added, Cecopi meetings “are summoned in a climatic emergency when the Aemet moves the threshold of a danger.” Thus, he has insisted that “you have to summon it in a timely manner to be resolutive and decisions can be made as quickly as possible.” He also stressed that, in his opinion, “it is absolutely surprising” to have cited at 3 pm-before the CECOPI–Emergency Unit Meeting (UME).
Asked at what time it should have been summoned to the Cecopi, Ángel has indicated that he does not know because he “was not there”, but has remarked that “once the Aemet had warned the previous weekend that there was going to be a threshold of Heavy rains in the Valencian Community, is a good time to summon all those who can comment, “with the aim of” minimizing risk factors. ”
