Carlos Mazon is increasingly cornered. Everything, for DANA. Everything too, all alone. For his words. For his actions. By his own statements. Due to a series of events in which he contradicted himself or in which reality itself denied him. Because their versions in the first hours of crisis management, directly, They don’t match.
As the Hydrographic Confederation updates all information in real time, citizens did not receive any notification from the Generalitat until eight in the afternoon. There, at that moment, already it was too late. Mazón, far from being informed and where he should be, was at a meal with a journalist that lasted until 6 p.m. He was also held incommunicado.
Arrive late, two hours late to be exact, to the CECOPI meeting. There, what he claimed to have was coverage issues. Everything contradicts the messages conveyed on this subject by Alberto Núñez-Feijóo, leader of the Popular Party. The leader of the PP declared that the president I informed him in real time.
However, coverage was not as good for communications with Therese Ribera. The minister tried to contact him, according to her, until four times during DANA day. Mazón says it all happened after eight in the afternoon… and he still hasn’t shown screenshots of some missed calls that he says exist.
Also, email and social media. With Mazón saying that day, in a now-deleted tweetthat the rains would ease around 6:00 p.m., the Hydrographic Conference sent emails to report the increases in flow. At 12:00 p.m., at 5:00 p.m., at 6:45 p.m., at 6:55 p.m…. In the latter, an alarming figure was put forward: 2,282 m3/s.
While Mazón assured that all protocols were followed, his Minister of Emergencies confirmed that He didn’t know about the citizen alert system.
