The PP did not wait for the appearance of Teresa Ribera to shoot point-blank against the third vice-president during the control session in Congress, because of the leadership of DANA. Without ever mentioning the responsibilities of Valencian President Carlos Mazón, the people accused Ribera of being directly responsible for the tragedy.
“You are a minister on the run, you are an electoral fraud and a political fraud without precedent in the history of our country. We had to jeopardize the only thing that matters to her, her future in Europe, for her to show her face,” said Miguel Tellado, parliamentary spokesperson for the Popular Party, who blamed the vice president on the shoulders of the vice-president of the management of DANA to exclude Mazón, his colleague.
“21 days have passed and you are the main person responsible for hydrological issues in our country. Didn’t have time to visit Valencia? “I don’t know how she manages to sleep peacefully at night,” Tellado told her, who has not given up on cornering the Minister of Ecological Transition at the very moment when her future as vice-president of the European Commission is at stake. . decided.
“This will accompany him for the rest of his political life. You have been incompetent, intransigent and extremely selfish. If you had not canceled the Barranco del Poyo canalization and drainage project in 2021, many lives would have been saved, but you canceled and canceled it due to your political intransigence. You did not authorize the cleaning of the river beds and you did it out of ideology. And that’s intransigence. And you were between Paris and Brussels maneuvering to become European commissioner, and that’s selfishness. But do you know what the worst thing is to listen to you? The worst thing is not incompetence, intransigence or selfishness,” he said.
Among the murmurs of the popular bench, Ribera responded to Tellado that “it is more important to ask everyone for explanations about their responsibility, something that you have apparently forgotten,” he said in reference to Mazón, who ‘he didn’t mention. “I don’t go to Valencia to take photos but to work. I have been working in my office since day one to resolve needs and emergencies,” the vice president defended.
PP deputy César Sánchez spoke after the fight between Ribera and Tellado and continued his party’s offensive. “We, the Valencians, are not going to forgive him. She is not able to be appointed commissioner, firstly because she is the most responsible person. He achieved nothing before or after October 29. She’s the most responsible person,” he told her.
“If they ignore the red notices, it will be difficult to prepare for the next emergency,” responded Ribera, who recalled that the improvement works of the Barranco del Poyo had been stopped by the Rajoy government. “It is a shame that the work to protect the Barranco de Poyo was not carried out when it was necessary, in 2012. And that it cost so much to restore order to the land already expropriated in the affected areas. Even the Japanese embassy understood what an AEMET red notice means,” he defended.
