Ana Pastor connected live during Sunday night with Ricardo Gabaldón, mayor of Utiel, area affected by DANA in the Valencian Community. The Objective continued covering the catastrophe caused by heavy rains that caused flooding.
The mayor made a good decision early in the morning, when DANA arrived in his town. “There is an institute next to the river and They decided to suspend classes first thing in the morning,” Pastor explained.
“The river overflowed and rose three and something meters,” said the mayor. “The councilors and I were talking since 7:00 a.m., we were just saying that it was raining a lot, but nothing predicted this barbarity“he recalled.
When the river overflowed, the institute was flooded: “The first floor is still bad, it has not been able to open and we will surely need to enable another center.” Furthermore, Gabaldón explained that Utiel suffered greatly from the consequences of DANA.
“The river joined with the flood caused by the rain,” he said. “I get emotional, because I can’t stop thinking about the help we have had,” he declared.
“Six people died, which is outrageous, but Without the action of police, firefighters, and neighboring farmers with their machinery, we would regret more lives.”he shuddered.
