Since DANA struck the province of Valencia on October 29, Carlos Mazon He tried to escape responsibility for not activating the alert system to warn citizens and blamed the Spanish government.
However, the newspaper archives do not leave the president of the Generalitat Valenciana in a good position. In the summer of 2022, when Ximo Puig was head of the regional government, a forest fire broke out on some railway lines. A train was about to go into flames, and Mazón accused of Ximo Puig for not warning of danger.
“The maximum responsibility, according to the emergency plan of the Valencian Community, falls on the Generalitat Valenciana,” declared Mazón, then president of the Provincial Deputation of Alicante, the following day during a press conference.
“I expressly refer to the notice which should have been givenor because this train should never have left,” added the PP leader.
He did not hesitate to demand political responsibilities. “What about political responsibilities? Since Puig has governed, it seems that they have ceased to exist,” Mazón criticized the socialist leader.
