The President of the Government, Pedro Sanchezproposed this Sunday to the Valencian president, Carlos Mazonmake a joint institutional declaration to condemn “violence» after what happened Paiporta minutes before. This rain of mud, stones and insults against the procession in which the kings also traveled. However, Mazón ruled out making this statement. Sánchez decided to do it alone and denounce “absolutely marginal violent people.”
Sánchez began fleeing Paiporta as soon as the insults and mud-throwing began. He abandoned the procession, leaving the neighbors alone in front of the King Felipe VIAt Queen Letizia and to the president Mazon. They were the ones who talked to the neighbors and tried to calm them down to listen to their complaints. Calm returned after twenty tense minutes and the King left the scene hugging the affected neighbors.
By then, Sánchez’s bodyguards had already rushed the president to the Integrated operational coordination center (CECOPI), in the safe zone of the port of Valencia. A scenario not planned in the visit’s agenda, but which served as a substitute for Chiva, the city to which the delegation was going from Paiporta. Even without Sánchez.
However, Moncloa, which sets the program for the trip, changed this plan. Although Zarzuela and the Generalitat Valenciana wanted to go to Chiva, the order was to go to CECOPI where Sánchez took refuge. This is what they communicate to Felipe VI’s entourage when they get into their vehicles. Mazón’s team, which had remained with the king all this time, did not receive the information in time and headed towards Chiva, but did not enter the municipality when informed that the visit was suspended. Sánchez has no intention of leaving the security zone to which he was taken, with an air escort from a Civil Guard helicopter.
In the midst of this lack of control, while Moncloa takes the reins of the system, Sánchez makes a proposition to Mazón: make a joint statement at CECOPI after the events of Paiporta. A statement from both rejecting the samples of “violence» which they dedicated to the delegation, despite the fact that Sánchez remained behind 50 meters from Sant Jordi square where most of the riots occurred and fled as soon as they started.
Mazón’s response, as OKDIARIO was able to confirm, was direct: no. He did not consider it appropriate and was not going to participate. Finally, Sánchez tells Mazón that he will do it anyway. Alone. And that’s what’s happening. After this, Moncloa begins to divulge that everything happened since a “very serious error» of the Kings by insisting on getting closer to the neighbors.
Sánchez: “Violent marginalized”
Sanchez He downplayed the social outcry that broke out this Sunday in Paiporta. The President of the Government, in this statement in which Mazón refused to participate, reduced it to the action of some “violent marginal» which led to the incidents in this Valencian city. Neighbors threw mud and objects to protest lack of help after the DANA. Sánchez was quickly evacuated after the altercations, while the Kings continued to speak and console the residents of Paiporta.
“We will not deviatedespite what can happen to certain absolutely marginal violent people. What all Valencian and Spanish citizens want is to look forward, to move their lives forward with a huge gesture of responsibility and solidarity,” said Sánchez during his appearance at the Integrated Operational Coordination Center (CECOPI) of the Valencian Community at the Eliana, where they met the president of the Valencian Community, Carlos Mazón, and the kings, after being booed and insulted at noon in Paiporta.
