Carlos Mazón suffers from a sort of boomerang effect. When he was president of the Provincial Council of Alicante, after the DANA that hit the Vega Baja region in 2019, Mazón attacked the Hydrographic Confederation of Segura (CHS) and criticized a senior official during a plenary session of the provincial institution for having arrived “three hours later”. late” to the meeting of the Integrated Operational Coordination Center (Cecopi).
During the plenary session of October 2, 2019, Mazón responds to a socialist spokesperson and states that a senior CHS official arrived late to the Cecopi meeting organized to respond to the 2019 DANA emergency, this is i.e. he criticized the exact same performance as this one. he carried out on October 29, arriving around 7:30 p.m. at the Cecopi called at 5:00 p.m. after having had a long meal.
“In Cecopi, do you know what will happen after Cecopal? [Centro de Coordinación Operativa de la Administración Local ]Three hours after the start of the meeting, it was not the president of the Hydrographic Confederation of Segura who appeared, but the water commissioner. [sic]whose only intervention was to say that the problem with the blockage at the mouth of Guardamar was that there was not much inclination and therefore the water was not flowing properly.
In the same intervention, the president of the Provincial Delegation of Alicante at the time blurted out to a socialist spokesperson: “We want to know everything that happened”. Mazón also criticized an alleged inaction in the face of the Vega Baja disaster, even though “six days before it was already known that a DANA was going to arrive.”
“For six days before, without a meter and a half of water, without what was falling, no measures had been taken and DANA’s forecasts were already in place,” Mazón explains in his speech. “Here what we want to know is why what happened happened,” explains Carlos Mazón.
