The central and Valencian administrations will create a specific organism at both levels of competence dedicated to manage reconstruction of the towns devastated by the tragic DANA that triggered serious floods on October 29 and which left 215 dead in Valencia and billions of euros in material damage.
The president of the Generalitat, Carlos Mazón, goes this Friday to the Valencian Cortes to appear in a monographic session on the management of the unusual cold drop, where also will address changes in your executivewhose structure aims to redefine to focus on reconstruction. In it, according to The Countrythere will be a specific vice presidency for this task. The hearing was originally going to take place this Thursday, although it has been postponed to Friday because Valencia remains on red alert due to heavy rain.
He Governmentfor its part, will constitute a group of senior state officials that will be specifically dedicated to coordinating and promoting actions for reconstruction after the catastrophe, the Minister of Territorial Policy, Ángel Víctor Torres, announced this Wednesday in Congress. The Council of Ministers will give the green light to this body next Tuesday. Torres has also proposed a State pact against climate change.
In the Valencian Government, the designated councilors during the crisis there are two: that of Justice and Interior, Salomé Pradasresponsible for the Emergency area who sent the alert to the population’s cell phones when dozens of towns were already flooded, and that of Innovation and Tourism, Nuria Monteswhich prohibited the relatives of the victims from going to Feria Valencia to inquire about their loved ones, a fact for which they had to apologize hours later. Besides, Mazón has reinforced his number two, Susana Camarero, in recent weeksto the detriment of the spokesperson, Ruth Merino, who could lose powers or leave the Consell.
In the session, which will feature responses from the parliamentary groups, Mazón will explain “everything that happened” that day, including possible “mistakes” that the head of the Consell introduced and the plans for the coming months in a legislature that is already expected to focus almost exclusively on the recovery of the devastated areas.
In recent days, both Mazón and Vice President Camarero have called for this appearance to give the relevant explanations on the management of DANA. “Everything that happened on the 29th will be detailed, every hour, every message, every call, every information received and, therefore, how we acted from there,” Camarero advanced this Tuesday. “It is important to tell what happened on the 29th, but also to report on how the structure of the Consell will be remodeled” in order to face the “new reality” after DANA, he added.

Days before, the vice president had ruled out resignations “at this time” within the Valencian Government, which is now focused and “focused” on “recovery” and in providing response and aid to the municipalities and affected people.
In his speech this Wednesday in Congress, Minister Torres indicated that Mazón activated the alert when the situation “was objectively dramatic,” but at the same time he has asked not to be “partisan.” Furthermore, he has denied that the Government was hiding figures and has asked that the drama not be used to “stir up” violence.
Defense of Feijóo
The president of the PP, Alberto Núñez Feijóo, made a clear defense of the management of his popular baron in DANA this Wednesday. In his opinion, “Mazón made the decisions based on the organizations that provided information, and both are the exclusive responsibility of the State: Aemet and the Júcar Hydrographic Confederation”. Although he has admitted that things “could have been done better” and has demanded that the responsibilities of each one be calibrated, that is , which urges putting the focus on the central government instead of the regional government that is in control of the crisis.
Feijóo has also claimed in the plenary session where Minister Torres’ appearance was taking place that Mazón is “the first Spanish politician” to appear in this crisis. The opposition leader has generated high expectations about the speech that the president of the Generalitat will give this Friday in Les Corts: “Let us be attentive to the commitments he is going to adopt, what he is going to say and the explanations he has to give. I assure you that after that appearance there will be many people who feel, at least, comforted by the political class,” he concluded.
Commit charge against the Government
Errors in crisis management have a clear culprit for Sumar, a group in which Compromís is a member in Congress: the Government of the Generalitat, led by Carlos Mazón. But the central Executive, of which Sumar himself is a part, also has a part of the responsibility for having “profile position” and not having relieved the president to take the reins of managing the tragedy by declaring a state of alarm, considers the coalition led by Yolanda Díaz, who has defended it in Congress through her deputy spokesperson, Águeda Micó. Mazón is “up to his neck in shit” and has to “start preparing his judicial defense,” he added.
