Ribera’s contradictions in his examination in the Cortes: works not done, emails not sent and a notice that he did not give

«To your usual arrogance, you add the arrogance of someone who has not owned a single mistake. “You really weren’t wrong about anything?” The question from Ester Muñoz, the PP deputy in charge of intervening in Teresa Ribera’s appearance, served to highlight the lack of self-criticism of the Minister for the Ecological Transition, who during her speech yesterday launched several messages addressed to the leaders of the Generalitat, but did not assume any responsibility. It was the vice-secretary of Education and Health of the PP who was in charge of highlighting Ribera, raising unknowns about the vice president’s management and also about her prevention work since she came to office in 2018. Gaps that the socialist did not want to clarify at any time. Muñoz accused Ribera of having withheld information during his appearance, in which he denied that there had been an “information blackout” by the Júcar Hydrographic Confederation (CHJ). «You have said that seven emails were sent in those two and a half hours, between 4:15 p.m. and 6:45 p.m., but you have not said that those emails that were sent were not about flows, they were about rains. Don’t lie, Mrs. Ribera. You have said ‘it is not always where it rains that floods occur’, that is why it was so important that they sent those emails about flows and that they never reached Cecopi so that decisions could be made,” denounced the popular one. Precisely, Muñoz referred again to the work of the Government delegate, whom Ribera praised during his speech. «Today he said that Cecopi was perfectly warned in a timely manner of the risks. He has repeated it ad nauseam. Also, they didn’t make decisions because they didn’t want to. But the Government delegate was in that Cecopi and she could have warned that the population was being put at risk and she did not do so. Related News standard Yes The person in charge of Ecological Transition denies an “information blackout” in the Confederation of Júcar Juan Casillas Bayo The law enables them to take command if timely decisions are not made and they did not do so. “This is a textbook possible fraud, I wish you good luck defending this in court,” said the deputy, who again demanded at that time that Ribera commit to resigning from her position as European commissioner if she is finally charged by the management. in the DANA or “because of Aldama.” Works in the Poyo ravine Another of the issues that the PP disgraced the minister was that of prevention and, specifically, her inaction in the area around the Poyo ravine, one of the points critics of the flood. «You have recognized today that not adapting the Poyo ravine was decisive in the tragedy. You have known that this is important since 2011 and you have been a minister for six years and you have done nothing. Draw your conclusions,” said Muñoz, who accused Ribera of not giving all the details when she referred to the drainage works that she herself paralyzed as minister. « That action may not have prevented the tragedy, but it would have mitigated it. He stopped the adaptation and drainage of the Poyo ravine in 2021 and did not consider it important to implement in the CHJ the decision support system that anticipates the risk of catastrophes that does exist in other confederations,” said the PP deputy, who denounced the opacity of Ribera when referring to those works that were not carried out and that the minister attributed to the indifference of Mariano Rajoy’s Government. «You have said that in 2011 they left the environmental impact declaration signed and that the Rajoy Government did nothing. But you have forgotten to say that when you came to the Government in 2018, Rajoy’s Executive had also signed the environmental impact declaration and in these six years you did nothing either. Don’t blame Rajoy, it’s his fault that there is no drainage in the Poyo ravine. It only cost 35 million euros, which you said you didn’t have, but you did have 42 million to spend on institutional advertising,” said Muñoz, who accused Ribera of having used his “climate sectarianism, supposedly, to prepare our country for catastrophes like the that we have lived. But it was all a lie because she was neither trained nor fighting against climate change. “You were working for yourself.”
