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.
