Overview
- During a tense committee hearing, ERC spokesman Gabriel Rufián repeatedly confronted acting Valencian president Carlos Mazón and used harsh insults, calling him “useless, miserable, homicidal and psychopathic.”
- Rufián displayed victims’ names and photos and pressed Mazón on whether he had anything to say to their families, as Mazón offered condolences and objected to what he called the use of victims for political attacks.
- Rufián accused Mazón of changing clothes after a meal at El Ventorro, citing witnesses, and Mazón replied that he keeps a sweater in his backpack and puts it on when cold.
- Mazón said a victims’ collective, Unión del Pueblo 29-O, backed by 80,000 signatures, asked to testify but was not included, and he accused Rufián of vetoing certain victims’ voices.
- The exchange was punctuated by interruptions and accusations of lying, and no procedural decision emerged from the session as the investigation into the ‘dana’ continues.
