The government of Carlos Mazón cannot explain why there was a “blackout” of more than an hour during the meeting of the Integrated Center for Operational Coordination (CECOPI) on October 29, the day of the DANA disaster. This Thursday it was impossible for anyone from the team of the president of the Generalitat Valenciana gives LaSexta the reason he “went black”“the screen between 6:00 p.m. and 7:00 p.m., at key moments because it was at that time The great flood of the Poyo ravine occurred.
The debate arose from the declarations this Wednesday at the Congress of Deputies of the third vice-president and Minister of Ecological Transition, Teresa Ribera, who declared that “between 6:00 p.m. and 7:00 p.m. the screen went black”. “”We don’t know what happened during that hour, but the three people who represented the government delegation, the AEMET (State Meteorological Agency) and the CHJ (Hydrographic Confederation of Júcar) They couldn’t participate in this debate“. A debate, he recalled, “which surely took place in person at the CECOPI headquarters to decide what was the best way to respond to the opinions, to the information available”.
This media has asked on several occasions, to all those present from the Generalitat and no one knows how to give a reason explain these words. The vice-president and spokesperson of the Generalitat Valenciana, Susana Camarero, limited herself to clearing the ball: “The one who has been offline for 21 days It was Minister Teresa Ribera. And everyone could have been here in person, that’s where they should have been.”
Recall that the emergency center was called at 5 p.m. on that fateful Tuesday. with cities already floodedwho became paralyzed while carrying only one hour runtime. As laSexta learned, this the power outage was not a technical errorand the Generalitat asked for it when in principle it was only 15 minutes. This media questioned CECOPI spokesperson Rosa Tourís up to three times, but she did not respond. “As you know, I am only commenting on the problems we saw today in CECOPI and This subject was not discussed.” he said.
This Thursday, curiously, after several days of press conferences, the vice-president of the Consell did not give one and, for the moment, the Generalitat has not yet clarified why this stop occurred. Meanwhile, the government delegate of the Valencian Community, Pilar Bernabé, assured that it was the Generalitat that told them “that CECOPI stoppedAnd it stopped him for an hour and that they would let us know when they did it again.”
“They are the ones who must give explanations as to why they arrested him and how much time they spent getting him arrested. They are the ones who must give explanations,” he insisted. The delegate detailed that “It was stopped for an hour, then it started again“I can’t tell them anything else, that they are the ones who have to do it and that I will continue with the tasks in which we currently find ourselves,” he affirmed.
On the opposition side, the spokesperson for the Corts Valencianas de Compromís, Joan Baldoví, wondered “in whose hands they have placed the security of 5 million Valencians.” “That the emergency center disconnecting when people were already drowning seems terrifying to me“, he declared. For his part, José Muñoz, spokesperson for the PSPV, maintained that “the connection was cut and that in addition, the president would not be found is essential to understand why the alert is sent at 8:11 p.m.
