THE advise Valencian innovation, industry, commerce and tourism of the Valencian Community, Nuria Montessparked a wave of criticism after announcing to the media this Friday that the relatives of the DANA victims would not be able to access the pavilion where the bodies of the deceased were transferred. In his public statement, what hurt the most was the tone used. An hour later, he publicly apologized.
“The bodies will not be handed over to the families here, access will not be permitted relatives in the area where we have custody of all the deceased, so they must wait for the court call and delivery of relevant documents. The best place for families to wait for news of their loved ones is at home,” said the advise First of all.
Following the criticism received, Montes reacted with a publication on her Instagram in which she declared herself “a victim of collective pain” and apologized for the tone used. According to him, what he was trying to convey was a message from the EMU commander, who “feared that [la morgue] could become a waiting point.
“This is why we decided to send a message so that the protocol is respected. I regret that my words lacked empathy, the sensitivity that we are all looking for in these difficult times,” explains the video.
In recent days, in Valencia alone, the number of deaths has reached 202, but it continues to increase every day.
Montes clarified that all relatives of those missing or suspected of being deceased must inform the telephone numbers or competent authorities, which is why they are the different courts those who have all your contact details.
Waiting at the morgue is therefore unnecessary and could slow down the work of the emergency services.
The bodies of the deceased, once identified at the Institute of Legal Medicine and the autopsy has been carried out, will be transferred to Valencia Fair and it will be the courts that contact families to tell them how the documents will be issued. They will thus delegate to funeral directors, their insurance companies or social or municipal services the care of the bodies and their delivery.
In this sense, he clarified that they have already arrived at the Feria Valencia the first bodies of the deceased, which means that they have been identified, have already undergone the autopsy process and are therefore about to be handed over.
