Although its impact has now ceased, the deadly DANA that devastated Spain last week continues to leave its consequences on the streets of many towns and also in the world of politics. The error chain that triggered the tragedy in Valencia after the floods has not stopped splashing the regional and national governmentsthe main responsible pointed out by those affected, since the disaster occurred.
There are many experts who, in recent days, have assured that the impact of the storm could have been much less if warning had been given earlier. And, despite the fact that the province was in a situation of red level warning due to heavy rainfall since that same morning, the sending massive alerts to citizens arrived latearound 8:00 p.m. on October 29, when DANA had already caused havoc in a good part of the Valencian municipalities.
Added to this is the late management of the counselor in charge of Emergencies of the Generalitat Valenciana, Salome Pradaswho did not call a meeting of the Integrated Operational Coordination Center (CECOPI) of the region to track a DANA. In addition, he assured that a few days ago he launched ES-Alert mass alert system for extreme risk situations such as DANA when a technician reminded him that it was operational.
Also the absence of President Carlos Mazón, who maintained a “working lunch” outside his official agenda with the journalist Maribel Vilaplanaas confirmed by ABC this past Friday. The Alicante politician did not join the CECOPI meeting until seven in the afternoonwhen a good part of the province of Valencia was already suffering from devastating effects of the cold drop.
José Manuel Soto highlights the main errors committed with DANA in Valencia
Since then, many have spoken of negligence on the part of the authorities and of mistakes that, if they had not been made, could have saved many lives. One of the most critical of the management of the catastrophe has been the singer Jose Manuel Sotowhich has not hesitated to hit politicians since the floods devastated many parts of Spain.
In one of his latest messages, the Andalusian has acknowledged that crimes were committed a series of errors from the Government that were deadly for the residents of Valencia and he wanted to show them to his followers: «In the flood of Valencia There have been two terrible failures with catastrophic consequences», lamented the singer, who in recent weeks has expressed his political opinions on the DANA disaster.
Firstly, José Manuel Soto has pointed out that one of the main mistakes that was made in the region and that catapulted the catastrophe was that “It was not warned in time”: “That sent many people to certain death», now recognizes the interpreter, referring to the more than 200 people who have lost their lives as a result of the floods that occurred.
In the Valencia flood there have been two terrible failures with catastrophic consequences:
1. There was no warning in time and that sent many people to certain death.
2. The Army was not sent in time, leaving many people who could have been saved to die and abandoning the rest.— Jose Manuel Soto (@JOSEMANUELSOTO1) November 9, 2024
For his part, the other big mistake, according to the Sevillian, was that of not sending the Army on time to alleviate the possible consequences within the most affected localities. This error, he says, meant that he left “many people die who could have been saved” and also a total abandonment for the rest of those affected, who have seen how their houses and belongings are completely destroyed by the water.
