Congress Unblocks DANA Flood Inquiry, With Sánchez on Witness List

A PSOESumar deal backed by Podemos and Águeda Micó establishes a two‑phase probe centered on victims.

Overview

  • The commission will be convened within days, according to the parties that struck the agreement.
  • Ninety‑seven witnesses are proposed, with the first 36 to appear over roughly three months, including Carlos Mazón, Salomé Pradas, Pilar Bernabé and Alberto Núñez Feijóo.
  • Pedro Sánchez is among those summoned; one outlet reports a tentative window in mid‑2026 for his testimony, which has not been officially set.
  • The sponsors say newly disclosed, verifiable facts indicate the Generalitat Valenciana held primary emergency authority and had access to information throughout the crisis.
  • The work plan splits into investigation and reconstruction phases and commits to hearing victims early in the proceedings.
