The president of the Generalitat Valenciana, Carlos Mazónhas demanded this Sunday that the Government, its institutions and the left stop spreading “hoaxes and lies” about the management of the DANA emergency on October 29. The regional leader has once again denied that he was held incommunicado that day, even when he was eating with the journalist Maribel Vilaplana, and has criticized the mayor of Cullera, Jordi Mayorfor ensuring that he did not pick up the phone for five hours when they spoke at 6:28 p.m.
This is how the head of the Consell expressed himself upon his arrival at the L’Eliana Emergency Coordination Center, where the CECOPI is still established, where he described as “exhausting” with “the pain we are suffering” having to “deny so many false information». Thus, he has accused the central Executive of “falling into contradictions” in its account of the events.
Mazón has insisted on two occasions that he is not a member of CECOPI and that this body was validly established at five in the afternoon. In this regard, he clarified that he was answering calls from 5:30 p.m., both from the Minister of Justice and the Interior, Salomé Pradas, and from the president of the Valencia Provincial Council, Vicent Mompó.
The Valencian president has criticized that “there was so much talk about the meal” that he had on Tuesday and wanted to point out that he was not incommunicado “at any time”, so the only problems when picking up the phone were when arriving at the CECOPI because “the lines had fallen.”
In this way, he has argued that no one in the emergency room “was waiting for the president to make decisions”, since consensus was already being reached by the technical members, including the preparation and sending of the massive Es-Alert alert in the face of risk. of the Forata dam overflowing or breaking. «I kept my plan for the day because the whole team was working“I came to worry in person about the risk of Forata and make decisions based on the information we received,” he stated.
Contradictions of the EMU
In parallel, Mazón has once again attacked the Government for “contradicting” his own story. Thus, he has pointed out the Military Emergency Unit (UME), specifically its chief general Javier Marcosfor ensuring that without the authorization of the Generalitat they could not activate their troops and days later confirming that without authorization they were already operating on the ground. “What are we left with?” he reflected.
Regarding the position of the PSOE, Mazón links it to “political calculation” to try to reverse the situation of the third vice president Teresa Ribera in Europe and has put the Minister of Science and general secretary of the PSPV-PSOE, Diana Morant, in the spotlight for going from offering her support in future regional budgets to asking for her resignation.
As for the restructuring announced by the Consell de la Generalitat, the president has stressed that “they are working on it” and that in “brief” they will communicate the decisions regarding the positions that will lead the economic and social recovery of the Valencian Community.
