The president of the Generalitat Valenciana, Carlos Mazón, has assured that saw the SMS sent by the third vice president and minister for the Ecological Transition and the Demographic Challenge of SpainTeresa Ribera“then” when he had already moved to ‘112 CV’, located in L’Eliana, where, he says, “there was no coverage.” He has reiterated 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 “throughout that day and during the previous days.”
Regarding last Tuesday, when DANA and the subsequent floods occurred, he defended that “here was everyone doing their job; everyone was where they needed to be“Everyone was presiding over Cecopi and I was promptly informed, as in any other storm alert,” he stressed.
In this sense, he highlighted the “difference between a storm and a flood.” In this regard, he pointed out that on the 29th “two completely different days were lived“, “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,” he compared, while pointing out that “Aemet itself spoke of a maximum of 180 -liters per square meter-. That would have been a normal storm” and that Cecopi was constituted “at all times” and 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 clarified.
“Everything changes from 7 p.m.,” said the head of the Consell, who added: when the storm “turns into a flood, when the Confederation of the Ministry tells us that from 7 p.m. that all this hydrological revolution, “That whole channel had overflowed, that’s when everything changes.” “Until that moment what we were doing was punctually informed, with a working lunch and then in the unit’s office,” he declared.
