The Judge of the Dana quotes as witnesses to the delegate of the Government and the president of the Diputación de Valencia

The Judge of Catarroja (Valencia) who investigates the management of the Dana catastrophic that at the end of October devastated half province of Valencia and ended the life of 228 people, has cited to declare as witnesses On April 14 to the Government Delegate in the Valencian Community, the Socialist Pilar Bernabéand to the president of the Diputación de Valencia, the popular Vicent Mompó. In addition, the 29 of the same month has called Two technicians to also appear as witnesses. The head of the Court of First Instance and Instruction number 3 of this town has also set for the April 11 The declaration as charged of the former justice and interior console, Salome Pradasand of his then number two, the former regional secretary Emilio Argüeso.

Both Bernabé and Mompó They attended the meeting of the Integrated Operational Coordination Center (Cecopi) That fateful afternoon. The first one did it telematically, while the second appeared early in the afternoon in the center located in L’Eliana, as he confirmed and how the security cameras of the enclosure attest, whose recordings the Generalitat informed the judge.

On the other hand, instructor Nuria Ruiz Tobarra has issued a car on Monday in which he denies the request of the popular accusation that the Cultural Acció of the Valencià country exercises to require data on the official vehicles used by the president of the Generalitat, Carlos Mazón, and his escorts between 8 am on October 29 and 8 am the next day. The magistrate justifies this refusal in the Afforado condition of the Chief of the Consell, so “it is not feasible” the “realization of research proceedings on their performance.”

In this regard, the judge recalls that the president of the Generalitat has the status of Afforado, so the Court of Instruction cannot order the practice of proceedings of research on your performance with respect to this cause.

Likewise, it denies the same request for proceedings regarding the then Minister of Emergencies and its regional secretary, since “it does not appear that they would not have been incorporated into the” Cecopi “meeting or that said incorporation had been made late”, as well as with respect to the director and the deputy general emergency deputy director, because these last two positions “They do not hold the condition of investigated”.

Finally, in relation to possible Audio recordings On the part of members of the Cecopi meeting of October 29, they consider that they must be those who express if they possess that material and if “voluntarily lend their conformity” to contribute them to the process once they are received a statement. Both the providence and the order notified today are not firm and against them fit.
