The Popular Party closes ranks and defends the president of the Valencian Community, Carlos Mazón, after 130,000 people took to the streets yesterday in the capital of Valencia to demand his resignation over the management of DANA. “The Popular Party is with the Valencians and with their president, with President Mazón. A president who has been showing his face at all times in front of the Government of Spain, who resigned from taking charge of the biggest national emergency that has occurred in Spain,” said the Deputy Secretary of Economy, Juan Bravo, in a conference press at the party headquarters.
“Valencian society,” the popular deputy secretary has acknowledged, “is going through a very, very difficult time.” “We are aware and we accompany and share the pain. There are many Valencians who have felt alone and abandoned. Our commitment is to work, to continue working until this situation is resolved,” he insisted. This Saturday, tens of thousands of people demanded the dismissal of the president of the Generalitat Valenciana for the controversial response he gave to the floods – it took him hours to send the alarm to the mobile phones of Valencian citizens – and the lies of his Government about the catastrophe.
The national PP has assured that it is with the Valencian people and that it understands the discomfort of the people who live in the affected towns. However, he has condemned the attitudes of the protest: “It is true that within that demonstration we have also seen situations that are condemnable. We must condemn violence. 31 police officers have suffered injuries and we have seen how an attempt was made to set fire to the door of the town hall.” “But,” he has refuted himself, “the important thing is the maximum respect for the participants and the expressions of pain of the Valencians and the rest of the Spaniards, of course.”
