New contradictions in Carlos Mazón’s version of his management of DANA. This Sunday, the president of the Valencian Generalitat asked to stop “the hoaxes and lies” about his actions on the afternoon of October 29, in which he insisted that he was not incommunicado and that he had even spoken with the mayor of Cullera, Jordi. Age. And he said the government “falls into one contradiction after another” through “its entities.” But the truth is that, as elDiario.es learned ten days ago, this call to Jordi Mayor took place around 6:30 p.m. and Mazón did not report the risk of rupture of the Forata dam nor expressed any concern about in the emergency.
Mazón, who made these statements before attending the meeting of the Integrated Operational Coordination Center (CECOPI) at the Emergency Coordination Center of L’Eliana, wondered why if the Government had information through Aemet that the Forata dam could break, “he has not taken command”. emergencies.
Carlos Mazón and Jordi Mayor spoke on October 29 at 6:30 p.m. The conversation, known to elDiario.es for ten days, did not address the seriousness of the situation and did not address the risk of overflowing the Forata dam, which would have directly affected the municipality of Cullera and the entire region from Ribera.
According to what Jordi Mayor told this newspaper, during the call the President of the Generalitat cordially asked him about his state of health and told him that he was at a meeting in which his name had been mentioned, so he took the opportunity to call him. He also asked her if it was raining in Cullera. “It was not an appropriate conversation for the level of emergency we were going through,” the mayor explained.
This newspaper did not reveal the call because it was not authorized by the mayor “out of institutional loyalty”. It was Mazón himself who revealed the call this Sunday.
It is more than striking that Mazón did not say anything to the mayor about the Forata dam, while in Cecopi it was the cause of the greatest concern since the dam was on the verge of overflowing. If the president had been informed, this should have been the reason for the appeal. During the conversation, he implied that the president was unaware of the situation. “I was wearing rubber boots and a raincoat and I had two inches of water in the streets,” explained the mayor to whom Mazón himself reportedly told: “Keep my cell phone for whatever you need. ”
