Aemet Admits Cuenca Reference in 29-O Calls as Government Backs Its Forecasts

Officials say the Serranía de Cuenca was cited only as a geographic marker that did not signal remittance in Valencia.

Overview

  • Aemet acknowledged it told Valencian emergency services on October 29 that the DANA could evolve toward the Serranía de Cuenca.
  • An Emergencies report submitted to the Catarroja court transcribes three calls in which Aemet is said to indicate a shift of maximum rainfall toward Cuenca.
  • The agency maintains the Cuenca mentions were geographic references and not a message that the storm would ease in the Valencian territory.
  • State environment secretary Hugo Morán defended Aemet, stating it never said the DANA would disappear from Valencia and rejecting claims of false testimony against José Ángel Núñez.
  • Call logs detail contacts at 9:43, 11:26 and 16:16, as red alerts remained in force and were extended through the day while the judicial probe continues.
