In the last few hours, the focus on the management of DANA in the Valencian Community is on the Minister of Justice and Interior of the Generalitat Valenciana, Salomé Pradas, in charge of Emergencies. And each new detail that is revealed is more inexplicable than the previous one.
To put it in context: Pradas appeared this Thursday on Valencian public television stating that she did not know of the existence of the mobile alert system until 8 pm on the Tuesday afternoon of the floods; Later an audio to which the SER had access denied this version. Pradas was denied again this Thursday: although Mazón’s counselor denied that the Government delegate offered her the help of the UME on the morning of DANA, RTVE recorded her telling her team, and yesterday it broadcast the images that reveal to Salomé Pradas.
Now, more moments that put Pradas in a bind are being recovered on social media. For example, this tweet that the current councilor wrote just three years ago, in which Pradas asked for the resignation of Mireia Mollà, then Minister of Agriculture under the Government of Ximo Puig, due to the “macabre event of the death of 10 donkeys under the management” of Puig, wrote Pradas in October 2021.
Not content with asking for Mollà’s resignation, Salomé Pradas returned to the fray the next day on Twitter, after the resignation of the then General Director of the Natural Environment due to the death of the animals. “This is nonsense,” Pradas said on social media. “The Councilor who is her boss clings to the position because she says that she had not found out anything. Mollà must resign as the person most responsible for this macabre event, and if not, Puig must dismiss her,” he stated.
Indeed, the resignation of Benjamín Pérez, senior official of Compromís and then general director of the Natural Environment of the Valencian Governmentwas caused by the death of those ten donkeys in a pilot fire prevention program. At that time, the Department of Agriculture opened an information file to clarify the death of 10 of the 50 donkeys that were introduced into the Desert de Les Palmes de Castellón natural park to help prevent fires.
The plan was to use the animals to remove remains of vegetation and contribute to the clearing of forests using species from the environment. Months later, the Prosecutor’s Office noted abuse and transferred the death of the donkeys in the Desert de les Palmes in Castellón to court after observing that there could be a crime of animal abuse attributable to the director of the natural park, Antonio García.
