The General Confederation of Labor This Monday he filed a complaint against Carlos MazónPresident of Country Valenciabefore the Provincial Prosecutor’s Office of Valencia. It is a 19-page document to which has had access to Direct and in which it is revealed that the Valencian authorities ignored the continuous warnings from both the State Meteorological Agency as of the Júcar Hydrographic Confederation. Both bodies reported the possible fall of torrential rains, as well as the overflowing of the river Lean.
Furthermore, Mazón not only did he disregard the Aemet forecastbut publicly disavowed it on social networks where he assured that there was “no hydrological alert.” In most of his statements He insisted that the risk was minimal and it was not until after 8:00 p.m. that the alert was sent to the cell phones of the Valencian population.
After a week of the social and climate emergency in the eastern part of the peninsula, the CGT considers that the late action of the autonomous government of the People’s Party in Valencia led to the death of a large number of workers. So much so that the Secretary General of CGT-València, Juan Miguel Fonttogether with the Secretary General of CGT-País Valencià and Murcia, Juan Ramon Ferrandisand a lawyer from the legal office, Rafa Marcohave called a press conference this Tuesday, November 5.
Likewise, they have disseminated on different platforms such as x (formerly twitter) or YouTube that “the negligent actions on the part of the Generalitat Valenciana endangered the lives of thousands of workers against DANA that devastated towns in the regions of l’Horta Sur, La Foia de Bunyol and Utiel-Requena”. According to their statements, they emphasize that “they did not act correctly” and clarify that the complaint “It does not involve the legal entity itself, but rather the physical entity.” in reference to Mazón.
The CGT has also insisted that the complaint is of a union nature since they consider that “The main victims were the workers. that they had to go to their workplace or were returning from it” and that it was due to “paralyze work activity“. Specifically, they contemplate the violation of article 316 of the Penal Code which states that violation of occupational risk prevention regulations “will be punished with prison sentences of six months to three years and a fine of six to twelve months.”
They talk about “crimes against worker safety“and they hope that the complaint “will be taken by the prosecutor’s office” making it possible for “all the injured parties to appear in this criminal procedure.” For them, this complaint against Mazón is a first step in the necessary search for responsibilities.
