Overview
- Carlos Mazón told a congressional inquiry that a lack of information drove the failures during the October 29, 2024 floods that left 229 dead and said his resignation reflects political accountability.
- Confederación Hidrográfica del Júcar and AEMET records show Cecopi was already discussing a Forata dam risk by 17:36, with CHJ’s Miguel Polo placing his warning at 17:15.
- Despite red weather alerts and a hydrological warning for Barranco del Poyo activated at 12:20, Cecopi met at 17:00 and the Es-Alert was not issued until 20:11.
- Ex-consellera Salomé Pradas says Mazón missed her calls at 19:10 and 19:36 and returned one at 19:43, shortly before the delayed Es-Alert, while Mazón insists he was not the authority to authorize it.
- Mazón did not clarify a 37‑minute gap between 18:57 and 19:34 or provide full operator call logs, and Interior’s official Es-Alert protocol is now before the Catarroja judge.
