Overview

• The Asociación de Damnificados por la Dana Horta Sud–Valencia agreed to meet President Carlos Mazón only under two conditions: a venue in a 'zona cero' municipality and guaranteed victim testimony rights in the regional inquiry.
• The decision emerged after hours of debate and secured a broad margin of support during the group’s assembly in Paiporta.
• The meeting revives a previous invitation for Mazón to visit the disaster’s epicenter alongside members of his cabinet.
• Upon confirmation of Mazón’s attendance, the association will convene internally to finalize agenda items covering aid distribution, infrastructure repairs and mental health support.
• This first acceptance among the three main victim associations comes seven months after the October floods that killed 228 people and has escalated calls for improved reconstruction and government accountability.
