  • Carlos Mazón, president of the Valencian Community, appeared to explain the management after the DANA that left 216 dead, his explanation was seen as unsatisfactory.
  • Mazón avoided assuming personal responsibility and instead, interposed the blames to entities such as the Júcar Hydrographic Confederation and the Spanish Meteorological Agency.
  • He proposed the creation of two investigating commissions and a vice presidency for reconstruction, but did not explain his absence at the control center during the crisis.
  • The leader of the PP, Alberto Núñez Feijóo, supports Mazón and is using the situation to criticize the central government, especially the Minister of Ecological Transition, Teresa Ribera.
  • Members of PSPV and Compromís are demanding Mazón's resignation, arguing that several alerts were ignored on the day of the DANA.

Conclusion: Mazón's management after the DANA has been strongly criticized and his political future may be affected. The lack of direct responsibility and the attempt to interpose the blame on other entities may open cracks in his argumentation.
