Judge Summons Vilaplana as Disputed Flood Video Raises New Questions for Mazón

Her hospital visit casts doubt on Monday’s appearance.

Overview

  • Levante-EMV reports that between 17:37 and 17:40 on 29 October 2024, Maribel Vilaplana showed Carlos Mazón an À Punt video of the Utiel inundations on her phone, a claim she and her circle deny by saying she received the link but did not open or display it.
  • Presidency-provided mobile-traffic logs show Mazón made or received eight calls after that window: four with then emergencies chief Salomé Pradas, three with provincial leader Vicente Mompó, and one with Cullera mayor Jordi Mayor.
  • The Audiencia Provincial ordered the judge to hear Vilaplana, who is summoned to testify on Monday 3 November as a witness under oath, with questioning limited to what she heard or saw regarding Mazón’s exchanges with Pradas.
  • The judge has requested Vilaplana’s parking ticket to help fix departure times, as accounts differ over the end of the El Ventorro meeting and a reported 18:57–19:34 gap in Mazón’s communications remains contested.
  • Vilaplana went to a hospital on Saturday for a crisis described by family sources, leaving uncertainty over whether she can testify, while the broader probe examines emergency management during a catastrophe tied to 229 deaths.
