“With the separatist parties, we are going nowhere”

Vox does not believe that the president of the Generalitat Valenciana, Carlos Mazón, managed the DANA well, which devastated several municipalities in this community and left more than 200 dead. Although they claim that Mazón was “negligent” and showed “great incompetence” in the face of the tragedy, his former government partners are not calling for his head. This Monday, the national spokesperson for the far-right party, José Antonio Fúster, made it clear that he would not support a possible motion of censure either, as Compromís suggested: “We, with the separatist parties , let’s not even go around the corner: “Do you want it to be clearer?”, Fúster said at the press conference after the Vox Political Action Committee.

The Valencians, who have 15 deputies in the Corts Valencianes, made themselves available to the PSPV to register the motion in the Autonomous Chamber. The decision was announced by its spokesperson, Joan Baldóví, after verifying that Mazón refuses to resign and dedicated his speech last Friday to the Cortés to rid himself of responsibility for flood management and to make the flood agencies accountable. State regarding late warning.

During this debate, the Socialists and Compromís demanded that Mazón leave office immediately. The PSPV spokesperson, for his part, asked the PP to replace him with another “technical” president on a temporary basis until new elections are called later. However, Vox was not very belligerent, even if it recognized that the president of the Valencians had acted “late”, demonstrating “incompetence and “negligence” in his management. “Mazón’s explanations in The Cortés seemed insufficient to us, which is why we asked for a commission of inquiry: we want to know what the errors and incompetence of the disaster were,” emphasized Fúster, who did not did not want to evaluate Mazón’s changes in his report. ”, hiding behind the fact that “the overhaul of the Government of the Generalitat are its internal problems”.

Vox, of course, registered in the regional parliament the request for a commission of inquiry to clarify the actions carried out by all the institutions and, if necessary, settle the “responsibilities” arising therefrom.

Since the beginning of the tragedy, the residents of Abascal have focused all their attention on the actions of the central government, which they accuse of “criminal negligence”. To the point that the far-right leader himself announced last week the filing of a “criminal complaint” against the president of the government and his cabinet for “reckless homicide” and “omission of the duty of assistance” after the Dana. “From the first minute we said that Pedro Sánchez was the main responsible.” [de la tragedia]criminal negligence belongs to Pedro Sánchez. “He’s the one we want to see sitting on the bench,” Fúster said.

Another target of Vox is the vice-president of the government and minister of ecological transition, Teresa Ribera, candidate for vice-president of the European Commission. Abascal’s party is redoubling its efforts to prevent his nomination. For the moment, the European People’s Group of Conservatives, where the PP is located, has succeeded in paralyzing it. However, Núñez Feijóo said he was willing to support Ribera if she “commits to resign if pursued by Dana.”

This Monday, the national spokesperson for the far right once again attacked Ribera, demanding that the PP not finally give in to pressure and block his nomination. Abascal’s party insists that Ribera was “missing” during the key days of the tragedy and that she is unfit to carry out her duties because she is responsible for the fact that “water infrastructure is not functioning properly.” were not developed in the Júcar basin” and that they “reinforced the infrastructure”. already present” within the National Hydrological Plan. Vox also continues to promote the hoax that Sánchez is “destroying the dams” and “emptying the reservoirs,” which has generated this dramatic situation.
