The Valencian president himself, Carlos Mazónhas generated many expectations by marking this Thursday as the key day to talk about political responsibilities for the management of the DANA emergency that claimed the lives of 216 people in his appearance at the control session of the Valencian parliament. An appointment that at the last minute has been postponed until Friday due to the red alert declared on the coast of the province of Valencia due to the threat of a new DANA.
The PP baron has been referring for days to explain the management of this intervention in the regional parliament, now delayed. In addition to presenting his account of what happened during the emergency, the Valencian president plans to dedicate a good part of his speech to explain your plan to face the enormous work that reconstruction will entail.
It is expected to affect new tax reductions for those affected, which are added to those of the approved decree-law in the last Council of the Valencian Government and to other aid. Among them, it has already been stated that those who have lost their home or their car due to the floods will not have to pay the main transferred taxes, that of Patrimonial Transmissions and that of Documented Legal Acts linked to the purchase to replace them. Also in the autonomous section of the Income, deductions have been introduced for the expenses of those affected on housing and furniture, as well as for donations.
Another of the measures that will be presented is the creation of a new organization, the Autonomous Instrument of Response, Attention and Reconstruction against DANA in Valenciacreated specifically to manage a plan of this magnitude, for which the Generalitat is taking as a model the formulas used during the pandemic crisis.
change of faces
Although the Valencian president will maintain that the responsibility also corresponds to the central government, the Valencian PP assumes that there will be a remodeling of its Executive to try to tackle the image crisis and regain leadership. Some changes forced in the face of the indignation and popular outcry left by the catastrophe.
From the popular ranks it is assured that the priority of the changes is to adapt the autonomous Government to the new situation focused on reconstruction, but it is clear that Mazón will have to sacrifice pieces. According to The Countrywill leave the regional Executive the head of Emergencies, the Minister of Justice and Interior, Salomé Pradas, and the Minister of Innovation and Tourism, Nuria Montes.
Pradas was in charge of the Integrated Operational Coordination Center (Cecopi) and even claimed that he had learned of the existence of the mobile alert system from a technician that same afternoon, although he later tried to rectify it. Mazón himself has insisted that he is not part of Cecopi and that this body was fully operational after criticism for the delay in attending the DANA day.
For her part, the head of Innovation, Tourism and Industry, Nuria Montes, has also been singled out, in her case for her lack of public empathy with victims and those affected. Montes even apologized for the tone in which he stated that family members would not be allowed access to the area where the deceased were kept at Feria Valencia.
More weight for the vice president
The communication errors of the Valencian Government have been another of the most criticized points. Mazón personally opted for someone from outside the PP, Ruth Merino, also a Minister of the Treasury and from Ciudadanos, as spokesperson for the Consell. In recent days, whoever has taken over the communications has been Vice President Susana Camarerowith more than two decades of experience in the Administration and in the PP.
Everything indicates that Camarero’s vice presidency will expand his functions and powers for reconstruction, in addition to recovering PP veterans with more experience in the Administration.
