Thousands of people They gathered in the Town Hall Square of Valencia to protest against the management of the authorities after the DANA which caused more than 210 deaths in the Mediterranean province. With cries of “murderer”, the march was led by a banner in which it read ‘Mazón, resigned’ in white letters on a red background on which there was also black crepe.
And that’s it the president of the Generalitat He was the main protagonist of the songs and banners that could be heard and read during the Valencia march. In a march during which emphasis was also placed on on the figure of Pedro Sánchez, President of the Government.
Because Valencia took to the streets. He took to the streets en masse. It was so true that it was almost impossible to move. That it was even difficult for the leader of the march to head towards the Palau de la Generalitat, where the march ended. Because over time, more and more people joined us.
The people of the city. People from other places. Cities and areas affected. They arrived by car. By bus. Even while walking. With boots. Full of mud. With the utensils they use these days to clean the streets and houses filled with mud.
“We have been abandoned for six days”
They came for example from Sedaví, from one of the areas affected by DANA. “We have been abandoned for six daysno one came to help us, only people with their brooms. And on top of that, they were told they couldn’t enter. Simply there is no right”, one of the demonstrators assured LaSexta.
And like Rebeca, who was also present at laSexta during the rally: “We have friends who lost their lives. It’s the most fundamental thing. It took so long for help to arrive that five days after the disaster, they found people alive. If they had appeared earlier, more people would have been found alive. People have found themselves so alone that at least they can see each other. »
“I don’t care about political messages. They don’t come from one side or the other. The first is life. Above any political party,” He insisted on his message.
The PP of the Valencian Community speaks of “politicized demonstration”
While Genoa remained silent, the Popular Party of the Valencian Community was very active during the Valencia rally. Up to three social media posts were shared in “X”, where they describe the march as “politicized demonstration”.
“Today, it is a politicized demonstration. The Catalan entities of the “Països Catalans” are coming to sow trouble and collapse the city of Valencia. “They don’t care about the victims, only about politics.”they shared.
Then, they put the Hydrographic Confederation at the center of attention: “They had the data on the flood and warned very late, the ravine was already overflowing. National Security notified the government and they said nothing. “They knew it and they didn’t warn.”
The last, to signal to the Executive: “If they want help, let them ask for it. We asked for help, and the government refuses us, Valencians, 25 billion euros to move forward. They have no shame. “They knew and they didn’t warn us, and now they don’t want to help us either.”
For his part, Carlos Mazón, president of the Generalitat, also shared a message on his “X” account. He did this to talk about the cleaning service in the areas affected by DANA: “All municipalities have technical examination services. Thank you to the colleges of architects and surveyors.”
The manifesto demands “the resignation of Mazón” and a “judicial investigation”
As the head of the march arrived at the Palau de la Generalitat, where the demonstration ended, three people read the manifesto to demand “Mazón’s resignation” and to open “a judicial investigation to clarify responsibilities”.
It was Sandra Cuevas, from Picanya, who closed the reading of the text: “We demand the resignation of Mazón. That a judicial investigation be opened to clarify responsibilities and that the right to housing be guaranteed to those rescued, to those who find themselves with nothing. “That public transport be reinforced and that construction in flood zones be prohibited.”
Also critical of state government: “He should have put pressure forcefully and immediately on a Valencian government incompetent who was not up to the task. We demand the resignation of the Consell.”
