The Minister of the Interior, Fernando Grande-Marlaska, has denied this Saturday that on October 29DANA day in the province of Valencia, there was no “information blackout” on the part of the Government in relation to the flooding of the Poyo ravine, as the president of the Generalitat stated yesterday, Carlos Mazónin his appearance before Les Corts Valencianes.
“There were all, there were all the necessary and precise warnings and on a permanent basis. It was permanent communication and obviously In no period of that time, at any time, was there any blackout, but rather timely, necessary and precise information that was continued over time,” stated the minister upon leaving the meeting of the Integrated Operational Coordination Center (CECOPI). in the Emergency Center of the Generalitat, which coordinates the work to repair the damage caused by DANA.
Yesterday, in his appearance before the Cortes, Mazón assured that they did not have “sufficient information in time” about the “lethal flood” on October 29, and regretted that the Júcar Hydrographic Confederation (CHJ) sent “a simple email” to report a “brutal” flood of the Poyo rambla.
Asked about it, Marlaska responded that he is “absolutely satisfied” of the work carried out by both the State Meteorological Agency (Aemet) as for the Júcar Hydrographic Confederationand has denied that there was an “information blackout, but quite the opposite.”
The minister added that both Aemet and CHJ “automatically” provided information “to all the institutions competent in emergencies.”
Marlaska has reiterated the Government’s support for the Generalitat in the reconstruction of the municipalities affected by DANA, with the “personal and material resources that are required” by the emergency management.
Diana Morant urges the PP to dismiss Mazón
The general secretary of the Valencian socialists, the minister Diana Morant, this Saturday, urged the PP to “assume its responsibility”, take a “step forward” and dismiss Carlos Mazón of the Presidency of the Generalitat Valenciana, because “he has to go” and “he cannot lead the reconstruction.”
In a press conference the day after the president’s appearance in Les Corts Valencianes to explain his management of DANA, Morant stated that if the leader of the PP, Alberto Núñez Feijóoallows Mazón to continue, despite having been offered the votes to appoint a president with a technical profile, “he will be supporting Mazón and not the Valencians.”
The socialist leader has alerted the PP that “silence” is not going to last foreverso that if they do not respond to the PSPV-PSOE proposal they will interpret it as “tacit support” for Mazón, as if the national PP “is also erased from the solution and from responsibility” and as if Feijóo “ties his future “that of the Valencian leader.
Morant has indicated that there are precedents, because when Francisco Camps He was president of the Generalitat and was investigated for the Gürtel case, he came Dolores de Cospedal and the PP itself “dismissed him and changed him to Alberto Fabra“, with the difference that then the PP had an absolute majority in Les Corts.
In this legislature, voting for a new president would require the support of other parties, so the PSPV offers its votes so that “in no case” Vox, a “climate change denier” who made cuts when managing emergencies, once again condition the election of a president.
“The unacceptable thing about Mazón’s appearance is that he did not present his resignation; “cannot continue, it is a popular cry,” said Morant, who has assured that the Valencians did not feel “at all comforted” with an appearance in which he did not answer “what he did” when his neighbors “were drowning.”
The socialist leader He criticized that Mazón “blamed the system” and said that he has failed, when “the one who has failed” is him, and has insisted that “from now on” there cannot be an “anti-system and failed” president, but rather that “he has to go, because everything cannot continue as if nothing had happened.”
Morant has insisted that, In the face of an “unprecedented” institutional crisis, solutions must be found that are also unprecedentedand that is why the PSPV offers its votes for the appointment of a new Valencian president and government with a technical transition profile, and for early regional elections to be called in 2025.
The minister has indicated that all parties must be “generous and responsible”, and for this reason the Valencian socialists will give all their votes to have a technical Valencian Government to prepare budgets “up to the task” of reconstruction, since at the moment they have only announced 250 million euros for aid.
“We are no longer addressing Mr. Mazón, we are addressing the PP of the Valencian Community and the national PP“after the president has “decided not to leave,” highlighted the minister, who has demanded that the popular ones “rise to the occasion” and respond to the socialists’ offer.
Asked about Mazón’s statements that he will not run for re-election if he is not capable of leading the reconstruction, Morant has stated that the president has proven himself “incapable and negligent” and they are no longer addressing him, but rather the PP, which must dismiss him “immediately” because he cannot continue “not even one more minute.”
