“Human errors can be forgiven, but manifest indolence is never excused.” This is how the leader of the PP, Alberto Núñez Feijóo, has summarized the management of the Generalitat of Carlos Mazón and the central government the management of the DANA that caused more than 200 deaths in Valencia three weeks ago. Before the leadership of his party, although with notable absences among the barons as has become customary, Feijóo has endorsed the “explanations” that Mazón offered last Friday in the Valencian Cortes while he has demanded that Sánchez “abandon the arrogance.” and political calculation.”
The PP was already satisfied with Mazón’s speech last Friday in which the president of the Generlitat justified from beginning to end his actions on October 29, including the total absence that he carried out for hours, supposedly at a meal ” “work” with a journalist. Mazón said he kept his schedule “fully aware of the situation.” A “situation” that at that time was already one of towns flooded by water, the UME intervening and the technicians asking that the alert be sent to the citizens.
Feijóo thus closes ranks with his baron, who not only has not resigned, but has said that he will remain at the head of the Generalitat during the “reconstruction” and that it will be in 2027 when he will decide whether or not to run for re-election. The Government has hand-picked one of the first emergency contracts to the firm where its Chief of Staff worked.
The leader of the PP has expressly praised the president of the Generalitat and his actions, as well as that of the other institutional positions of the party in the autonomous community. “The mayors, councillors, members of the Generalitat and their ‘president’,” he said. And he added: “You have to continue. You have to continue showing your face, helping the people, listening to them because anger and disappointment must be understood, giving explanations, recognizing mistakes, assuming responsibility. And make economic, social and emotional reconstruction an obligation in which there are no longer any room for mistakes.”
Feijóo has asked his people for “the humility to recognize” what has been done wrong and “the will to amend it,” despite the fact that Mazón has not yet shown signs that he is going to dismiss anyone from his Government, while he himself does not assume responsibilities. These “humility” and “will” have been “extended to the two competent administrations.” “If they aspire to be back on par with the people, honor the victims and be fair about what has happened, they are obliged to do two things,” he added. The first, “evaluate from criticism and self-criticism.” The second, “compensate for what happened with a reconstruction that allows people to live normally again and have the certainty that this will not happen again.”
