Overview

• The Asociación de damnificados por la dana de l'Horta Sud lodged an injurias complaint against José María Llanos at Valencia’s Ciudad de la Justicia.
• Llanos did not attend the pre-litigation conciliation and sent a legal representative who sought the dismissal of the case.
• Victims’ representatives brought their statutes and supporting documents to demonstrate the association’s nonpartisan status.
• Spokesperson Christian Lesaec condemned Llanos’s no-show as an affront to flood survivors and confirmed the group will press ahead with legal action.
• The lawsuit underscores escalating political tensions over delayed aid and corruption allegations since October’s DANA floods.
