Overview
- José Miguel Basset testified that the first mass alert at 20:11 was not discussed in Cecopi, contradicting earlier accounts of a technical consensus.
- Both Basset and subdirector Jorge Suárez proposed earlier messages at 18:13 and 17:45 advising people to remain at home, which did not appear in the final alert.
- The examining magistrate considers the 20:11 and 20:57 alerts late and erroneous because they were issued after most victims had already died.
- Text messages from presidential chief of staff José Manuel Cuenca urged consellera Salomé Pradas to avoid confinement language, while Cuenca maintains he gave no orders and legal counsel had said confinement was permitted.
- Basset said he was not informed about the mobilization or later withdrawal of firefighters at the barranco del Poyo, a decision that left key ravines without real-time monitoring.
