A disloyalty. This is how they define Marguerite Robles and Yolanda Díaz the statements of the president of the Generalitat Valenciana, Carlos Mazonin which he stated that last Tuesday, after three in the afternoon, he requested the activation of the Military Emergency Unit (UME) and that as a result, They were the ones who decided to what extent the deployment should be.
Both the first vice-president and minister of labor and the head of the defense portfolio exploded this Monday in the Crisis committee which brought together King Felipe VI with the rest of the members of the central executive, as confirmed by sources close to laSexta. Furthermore, they indicate that Robles showed firmness in ensuring that these accusations by the “popular” Mazón were taken into account. “unacceptable”while defining them as “disloyalty to the army”.
He The scenario of President Mazón arrived first thing on Monday and a few hours later altercations that kings experiencedthe President of the Government, Pedro Sánchez, and himself during their visit this Sunday Paiportaone of the cities most affected by the DANA. The “popular” said that before the “meteorological revolution” he had already called for the activation of the EMU and demanded “all possible help.”
Then came the words that made Díaz and Robles angry. Mazón stressed that once this aid is requested, it is from the military operational commands those who detect whether it is necessary for other detachments to arriveit is not up to politicians to provide more media nor is it necessary “no political slogans” for this, since they act ex officio.
A question he explained a few hours later Lieutenant General and head of the EMU, Javier Marcosduring an appearance before the media, where he insisted that “who decides where we go and where we do not is the Autonomous Community”. Something that maintains that “operational situation 2 implies that the Autonomous Community directs the emergency. We anticipated and entered when they gave us authorization”.
“On Tuesday, the UME was already monitoring the situation. When I saw what could happen, I ordered the 500 soldiers to go to their posts to enter. My soldiers were deployed in difficult conditions. When the Generalitat gave the green light in a few minutes, we were up and running,” Marcos said. “Entering the area is responsible for the emergency. I can have 1,000 men at the gate, but if they don’t allow me, I won’t enter.”he added forcefully and denying Mazón’s comments.
These clarifications, however, did not prevent the anger of Robles and Díaz during the Crisis Committee. Regarding the former, sources indicate that they had to defend the army, while the former leader of Sumar acquired a more political perspective. According to ‘El País’, neither King Philip VIwho valued the work of the armed forces, nor Sánchezwho limited himself to launching an institutional message, began to qualify Mazón’s attitude.
