  • There is an urgent need for unity between the different administrations to handle the consequences of the catastrophe that Spain has suffered.
  • The role played by the Valencian president, Carlos Mazon, has been criticized for attempting to blame the central government for his own poor management.
  • Despite the call for unity, there seems to be a politicization of the tragedy, with various political actors trying to take advantage or deflect blame.
  • The President of the Popular Party, Alberto Nuñez Feijóo, has announced his support for the declaration of a national emergency state, in contrast to the Valencian president.

Conclusion: To minimize the suffering of citizens and best manage the catastrophe, it is essential that there is coordination, efficiency and to avoid political gamesmanship. However, clear signs of division and political disagreements are observed.
