Overview

• Judging orders by Nuria Ruiz Tobarra label key public assertions by Valencian president Carlos Mazón as “fiction” or “autofiction,” finding the ES Alert was not sent solely over a feared Forata dam failure and that the Cecopi did discuss the Barranco del Poyo.
• The court record cites technical testimony and timelines indicating in‑situ barranco surveillance fell to the Generalitat under its flood plan, challenging the regional government’s defense of its emergency management.
• PSOE, Sumar and allied groups agreed a congressional plan seeking 126 document sets and about 127 witnesses in two phases, with hearings slated to begin after the 29 October state funeral and to open in the first week of November with victims’ testimonies.
• Early witnesses include 13 relatives of victims, Mazón, former consellera Salomé Pradas, journalist Maribel Villaplana and PP leader Alberto Núñez Feijóo, with Pedro Sánchez scheduled to appear later in the reconstruction phase.
• The Generalitat publicly maintains its version—vice president Susana Camarero insists the ES Alert debate centered on Forata—while in Les Corts Mazón sidestepped questions on his call log and the judge’s orders, citing polls as the death toll stands at 229.
