The worst cold fall in a century which left more than 70 dead in Valencia placed emphasis on the management of the Valencian government. A year ago, Mazón’s management abolished the Valencian emergency unit, considering it a “beach bar.” Today, after the devastating devastation of dana, criticism is focused on Mazón’s decision.
This Wednesday, the spokesperson for the ERC, Gabriel Rufián, criticized the fact that “There are people who died because, according to whom, they did not want to have a decent and well-equipped emergency unit”in reference to the elimination carried out by Mazón.
He did this months after the previous government, that of the Socialist Party. Ximo PuigI’m going to move it forward. It was barely active between February and May 2023, when the Popular Party arrived with Vox in the Valencian Community and decided to suppress it.
As several users shared on social networks, a year ago the PP stated the following in X: “The Valencian Emergency Unit, the first organization of Ximo Puig suppressed by Carlos Mazón. This is the first step in the restructuring of the public sector announced by the Valencian government”. Precisely, the Mazón government assures that the Valencian emergency unit was a “chiringuito” that did not provide more resources for situations like this.
Today, the floods have put the focus on Mazón’s management. Sumar’s spokesperson in Congress, Águeda Micó, criticized the fact that “it was at 9:30 p.m. that the notices first reached those affected.” He also assures that they will ask for explanations because AEMET at 9 a.m. was already activating the alerts. For his part, the Valencian president assures that They did not expect such magnitude.
