Overview
- Alberto Núñez Feijóo delivered to the Catarroja court the WhatsApp messages he received from Carlos Mazón from the night of October 29, 2024, plus a notarized statement and a contextual brief, and requested to testify remotely on January 9.
- The notarized filing acknowledges his earlier statement that he was informed "in real time" was an error, clarifying the contact began that Tuesday evening rather than the day before.
- The messages describe authorities as overwhelmed, report emerging deaths in Utiel, note blocked access to towns and the deployment of the Military Emergency Unit, and include criticism of a central government crisis cabinet.
- Feijóo did not submit the messages he sent to Mazón, saying the judge did not ask for them, prompting the Valencian Socialists to demand the full exchange be provided to the court.
- Victims’ associations condemned the Christmas Eve timing and the partial nature of the disclosure, while Compromís sought an urgent parliamentary appearance and called for Feijóo’s resignation.
