After his appearance, it appears that Mazón is about to take to the streets to demonstrate against himself and the leadership of DANA for which he is responsible. In his speech, he talks about failures (all unrelated) and acknowledges that “the system did not react as it should have” as if he and his advisors were strangers to this system of governance. President Mazón ignores the problem and ignores the powers he has to attribute the tragedy to insufficient protocols. I wonder what Díaz Ayuso thought of Mazón’s actions when she activated the E-Alert system in September 2023 for the Community of Madrid and the system worked.
It is revealing to read today (2024) the reports that were written at the time (2023) on how this decision was made in the Community of Madrid, especially when we see that some political leaders like Moreno Bonilla suggested that this could have been alarmist. It is relevant to recall which protocol was then activated because it shows that its effectiveness was largely due to the seriousness and seriousness with which the AEMET notification was taken.
