The president of the Generalitat Valenciana, Carlos Mazónhas insisted that the Minister of Ecological Transition and the Demographic Challenge, Teresa Riberawas not interested in the situation until the crisis began due to DANA of last October 29 and that It has caused more than 200 deaths.
In addition, Carlos Mazón maintains that he had “coverage” problems during the afternoon, so he could have “some missed calls”, but “always from eight (in the afternoon).”
“Before eight in the afternoon we did not have any reference from her, nor from any senior official. How can you say that she was trying to contact if until eight o’clock I did not have an SMS from her, perhaps with a missed call, but never before eight“Mazón specifically said.
“I want to avoid this type of controversy. Unfortunately the coverage was very bad and then I could see missed calls, here without coverage, starting at eight in the afternoon. The one who was outside was her and the one who had half the Ministry outside was her,” added the regional president.
Mazón said: “I would ask the minister: Did the flood warning have to come? Did the alert have to come?“, in response to statements made last night by Ribera in which he said that it took him “up to four calls to locate Mr. Mazón.”
The Valencian president has insisted that Ribera contacted him “after the alert, after the flood warning“, while maintaining that it is “fundamental” to be able to “clarify” the conversations held with Ribera “during that entire day and during the previous days.”
Mazón has assured that “Everyone was here doing their job; “Everyone was presiding over CECOPI and I was promptly informed, as in any other storm warning.”
The regional president wanted to emphasize the “difference between a storm and a flood” and added that on the 29th “the“They lived two completely different days,” “two days in one”, since the initial forecast was for storms, “for red alerts at levels that we have had on other days.”
“Like many storm forecasts that we unfortunately have here,” added Mazón, who recalled that “Aemet itself spoke of a maximum of 180 (liters per square meter). “That would have been a normal storm.”
Mazón has said that the CECOPI was constituted “at all times” and he “He punctually followed all the information.” “It’s not that it was an ordinary day, it was a day in which we were pending the evolution of the rains,” he said in statements to the media.
“Everything changes after seven,” adds Mazón, since that was when the storm “becomes a floodwhen from the Confederation of the Ministry they tell us that as of 7:00 p.m. that all that hydrological revolution, that whole riverbed had overflowed, that’s when everything changes.”
“Until that moment what we were informed about was punctually, with a working lunch and then in the unit office“added the Valencian president.
Precisely about his controversial meal, Mazón has stated that it was “a day of work with a work agenda.” “In the morning there was a work agenda, there was a working lunch with people who had nothing to do with all this,” he said, adding that both “during” and “after” that “previously established food to talk about the future of television” was “informed of the developments” of DANA.
“But until seven it was impossible, because until seven the Confederation of the Government it does not show us what it was becoming. That revolution that changed everything so tremendously for us,” Mazón added.
According to the Valencian regional president, “what is important now” is “reconstruction, with the roads, with the people, with the volunteers, with the food.” “This is where we have to be and not in very low, very ugly insinuations, that are being heard probably because some want to absolve some blame or with some political interests that I believe are not really acceptable,” he added.
“I have had to deny that I was at a birthday party with one of my counselors. It’s just that I have read tremendous things about my situation. And I believe that it is not fair and that it is even miserable to cast shadows of doubt on issues that have nothing to do with this,” he said, after remembering that “we should not go around accusing people based on hoaxes.”
He has insisted that on Tuesday he was “punctually informed”, despite being in “a situation of great lack of communication, because” they were already beginning to fall the main telephone terminals“. “What I think does not make sense is to enter into such malicious hoaxes”, since “no one deserves these things and the people do not deserve them.”
Asked about possible political responsibilities, Mazón said that “political responsibilities will come to pass in due course“, since now “it is about rebuilding.”
“I don’t want to get into arguments with anyone, but if someone says that they were calling me all afternoon and I don’t have calls from that person or messages until eight, well that’s what I really want to say,” Mazón stated again.
“The time will come for responsibilities for sure, but now to get into controversies, I believe that now the entire Valencian government and all the administrations what we are is working to improve recovery of people’s lives at forced rates,” he added.
The Valencian president says that “there will certainly be time” to analyze “those two days in one on the 29th: before 7 p.m. and after, which was when everything changed, “the hydrological revolution devastated so much”.
“There will be time for political responsibilities,” He insisted, while adding that now, in his opinion, “the responsibility is to exercise it, it is to work, it is to coordinate all the teams.”
Mazón recalled that this Thursday he will appear in Les Corts at his own request and has defended that “this is not the time to engage in politics, or to continue with hoaxes, or accusations.” “The focus has to be on recovery”has concluded.
