Demand explanations for the late reaction to the floods of October 29
The representatives have insisted that the demonstration is held in order to “publicly denounce” and “demand political responsibilities” in honor of the victims who can no longer do so. Regarding the march being silent, an aspect that, as they have acknowledged, has cost them “a lot” to decide, they have pointed out that “it will serve to detect those people who, within the chaos and pain, take advantage.”
The objective, they assert, is to “tell Mr. Mazón” that it is “unsustainable” for “this autonomous Government to last one more day.” “It makes no sense for the Government of the Generalitat Valenciana to remain in its place,” they have reproached.
In his opinion, the Consell had “a response that was more than 12 hours late”, which, in part, caused a “greater misfortune” in the face of this meteorological catastrophe. “Ineffective forecasting” and “late management,” they have described.

Good afternoon and welcome to the live stream in which we will bring you the last hour of the effects of the floods in Valencia, the identification and search for the missing and the political ramifications of the tragedy.
