Feijóo Submits Mazón’s Dana-Night WhatsApps to Judge, Facing Demands for the Full Thread

Opposition parties and victims’ groups object to the Christmas Eve filing, pressing the court to obtain his side of the conversation.

Overview

  • Feijóo delivered to the Catarroja investigating court an acta notarial with WhatsApp messages he received from Carlos Mazón between 20:08 and 23:29 on 29 October 2024.
  • The filing excludes messages sent by Feijóo, with the PP arguing the judge did not request them, which prompted calls for the complete exchange.
  • Mazón’s texts describe an overwhelmed response, mention UME deployment and difficulties entering towns, and warn that deaths were appearing in Utiel, including the phrase, “Un puto desastre va a ser esto presi.”
  • Feijóo asked to testify by video on 9 January and acknowledged in writing that he erred when he previously said he was informed “in real time.”
  • Valencian socialists, victims’ associations, and Compromís criticized the timing and partial disclosure, demanded in-person testimony and the full messages, and sought his urgent appearance before the congressional commission on the dana that killed 230 people.
