Several formations of the investiture bloc have registered this Tuesday in Congress the formal request for the creation of a commission of investigation into the management of DANA. Sumar, ERC, Junts and Podemos want to investigate the “possible political responsibilities in the management of the crisis” as well as study the improvement proposals “aimed at alleviating the effects of these adverse phenomena in the future.” The proposal needs a majority of the House for it to be implemented.
This request comes after Compromís demanded an investigation a few days after the tragedy into the management carried out by the Comunitat Valenciana before, during and in the following days. Although he also asked to assess what role the central government played. The Valencian coalition, which had the support of the plurinational group, was later joined by other parties such as Podemos or ERC. To register a commission of this type, at least the signature of two groups in Congress is needed.
On behalf of the PSOE, the parliamentary spokesperson also confirmed this Tuesday that his group will register the request for its own commission. “We are going to register an investigation commission with a broader scope than other groups because it not only affects the Valencian Community and we are going to do it in order to draw conclusions,” López announced.
“The responsibility lies with the government of the Generalitat Valenciana and Mazón has shown incompetence, irresponsibility, and they are liars,” said Sumar deputy spokesperson and Compromís deputy, Àgueda Micó, in a press conference in Congress on December 12. November in which they assured that they were also seeking to know if the central government put all the resources at its disposal for the subsequent management of the crisis.
“We want the members of the Government of the Valencian Community with responsibilities in Civil Protection and Emergencies to appear, but we also want all the governments involved to come, appear and give their vision. It is a way to check who has done well and who has not,” Micó said this Tuesday moments before registering the text.
“The effects of DANA on the population have been devastating. There were multiple cases of people trapped in their vehicles in Valencia and in the affected regions, people who saw their car flood in a matter of minutes while they tried to evacuate the area. These people did not receive the alert from Civil Protection until it was too late to leave safely, a situation that highlights the delays and lack of coordination in the emergency alert system during this episode,” says the exhibition. reasons for the text that the parties have registered.
“It is also necessary to point out that the Consell de la Generalitat, led by Carlos Mazón, did not heed the recommendations and alerts of the state meteorology agency and the experts who days before warned that Tuesday the 29th was going to be a particularly dangerous day and “They recommended not leaving the house or taking the car unless it was extremely necessary,” they add.
When pointing out the objectives, the text talks about examining the response “of the Valencian government and the rest of the administrations in the management, coordination of emergency personnel and various supports to evaluate their level of effectiveness in managing the crisis in the most affected areas.”
They also ask to “identify all those responsible with powers in the management of DANA and determine political responsibilities in the cuts applied to emergency services and their direct influence on the response to the disaster.” As well as “investigate the management and delay in the communication of civil protection alerts, especially in areas that received notifications late.” The signatories propose a period of six months to complete their work “with the possibility of extending it by agreement.”
