PP and Vox close ranks and prevent the Minister of Justice, competent in Emergencies, from appearing in the Valencian Parliament. The two parties have rejected the proposal of the opposition groups to hold an extraordinary plenary session in which the councilors involved in the management of the floods of October 29 report their actions. Specifically, the opposition focused on the head of Justice and Interior, Salomé Pradas, who has not held a press conference in weeks, apart from her statements in À Punt where she said that she did not know about the telephone alert system. mobiles.
The plenary session of the Corts Valencianes next week, scheduled for Wednesday and Thursday, will debate the proposals of the different parliamentary groups to investigate the management of DANA, but will not include the appearance of any councilor. PSPV and Compromís demand that the Minister of Emergencies speak in response to the vague explanations of the president of the Generalitat, Carlos Mazón, in the monographic plenary session on November 15, the first session since the flood.
The alliance of PP and the extreme right has overturned the opposition’s claims. According to them, there is no point in requesting an appearance if they do not know whether Pradas will continue to be councilor next week. Both hide behind the gradual remodeling that President Mazón is carrying out, who communicates changes in the Executive on a daily basis and by press release. Since Sunday, three movements have been reported but none of them have been published in the Official Gazette of the Generalitat Valenciana: Susana Camarero assumes the spokesperson for the Consell, Marián Cano will be the Minister of Industry instead of Nuria Montes and Lieutenant General Francisco Gan Pampols will be vice president for reconstruction. Nothing is still known about the future of Salomé Pradas, although the pressure for her to leave is constant in the party and in the Executive.
The silence regarding the still councilor leads the PSPV and Compromís to insinuate that the PP fears a possible statement from Pradas. The Socialist spokesperson, José Muñoz, has denounced that “the PP has put a lock on the appearance of Pradas”, whom in his opinion “Mazón is treating as a kind of protected witness” of what happened on October 29 and the days later. “He is the person who knows what happened that day,” since “Mazón has not clarified what he did between 5 and 7:30 p.m.”: “She knows how many times she spoke with him and can answer if she could not locate him, if she gave indications and why decisions such as sending the alert were not adopted,” the socialist insisted. From Compromís, Joan Baldoví has agreed to accuse the PP of “blocking the appearances” of councilors to celebrate “a normal plenary session as if nothing had happened.” “It is a real scandal,” he stated, and criticized Vox’s “’pagafantista’ attitude” towards the PP, which allows this plenary session not to take place.
The popular ones defend that the councilors will appear in commission when they are summoned and that there will be an investigation commission where Pradas can report on the matters that concern it. “All of these appearances are going to happen,” said his spokesperson, Juanfran Pérez Llorca. Pérez Llorca has denied that his group is “shielding or hiding” Pradas, who “is doing his job at CECOPI.” “We have not yet recovered normality, it is logical that we are focused on the reconstruction and then, of course, all the necessary councilors appear. And we will do it according to the regulations,” he argued.
For this, he has pointed to the investigation commission on DANA, where “all those appearing may be asked to present themselves or to choose the parties.” “When we are clear about who the new councilors are, all requests in this regard will be attended to,” he added, and it has disgraced the PSPV that it did not want to question Pradas in the next plenary session.
