The head of the UME, General Javier Marcos, insisted this Friday that the Armed Forces will be in Valencia “as long as it takes” and that, “although a lot of progress and work has been made”, there is still “work to be done.” “.
Regarding what has capitalized on the information interest and complaints from some neighbors, the coordination that the different responsible parties had on the day DANA broke out, Marcos has stated that “no one could foresee the magnitude” of the effects of the meteorological phenomenon and that “everything possible was reported in a timely manner.”
“From the point of view of the UME, nothing failed. The relationship between the Interior and the Valencian Community was perfect” given the circumstances, he stated at a press conference. In any case, Marcos does “self-criticism” and ensures that they learn from all possible aspects to improve in operations to apply them in future ones.
Of course, as in previous appearances he has highlighted the reaction of his men at the critical moment of the DANA: “We were prepared from the first moment. We anticipated it as the situation became known. In my last appearance I said that it took us 15 minutes to actually, there were 12. I like to tell the truth,” he stated.
