Carlos Mazon is preparing a profound overhaul of its government to reorient it towards reconstruction, after the terrible DANA which devastated part of the province of Valencia.
The president of the Generalitat Valenciana envisages changes in the field of EMERGENCIESindicated directly by disaster management, but also in those of Industry and in the spokesperson of autonomous government.
According to sources close to the president’s plans, these changes could lead to the dismissal of at least three advisors: Salome Pradasresponsible for Justice and the Interior; Nuria MontesInnovation, Industry, Commerce and Tourism; And Ruth Merinosspokesperson for the Executive and responsible for Finance, Economy and Public Administration.
Mazón therefore excludes the resignation demanded by the opposition and the organizers of last Saturday’s demonstration in Valencia.
Salomé Pradas and her team, as reported by this newspaper, are the most notable of what happened during the Cecopi meeting on the day of the tragedy.
Mazón delegated to the councilor the representation of the Generalitat, who only sent the alert to cell phones via ES-Alert radio after 8:00 p.m. to advise against mobility to the population. The warning came when the water was already flooding everything.

Furthermore, the councilor, in a statement to In Punt, revealed that it was only on October 29 at eight o’clock in the afternoon that she learned that there was a system to alert the population in the event of emergency.
Nuria Montesfor his part, starred in an unfortunate episode when he declared in front of the media that the relatives of the victims of DANA would not be able to access the pavilion of the Feria Valencia where the bodies of the deceased were transported.
“Here, the bodies will not be released to the families, family members will not be allowed access to the area where we are holding all the deceased, so they have to wait for the court to call and deliver the relevant documents.” The best place for families to wait for news of their loved ones is at home,” he said.

Following criticism received for her “lack of sensitivity” and the tone used, Montes was forced to apologize with a post on her Instagram.
Additionally, Montes was also singled out by one of her team officials, who lost her partner and 24-year-old only daughter. This woman, a neighbor of Benetússer, tearfully recounted her case on Ana Rosa’s show and denounced the treatment suffered by the political leader.
He indicated that the counselor had called him “a week after” the deaths and that she had criticized him for not having warned her, because she would have sent him “a company car” to go to the funeral home .
FinallyRuth Merino did not have a leading role in the management of the disaster. His departure could respond to the search for a more political profile in the spokesperson, a position which will now be under great pressure.
