Overview

• A leaked letter dated August 5 shows Carlos Mazón warning Pedro Sánchez that new torrential rains could cause damage equal to or greater than last year’s DANA and urging a bilateral meeting and a mixed commission.
• Mazón criticized the lack of response to his April and August letters during a visit to Elche, where he backed municipal clearing of ravines carried out with local resources under threat of sanctions from river authorities.
• Documents sent to Les Corts indicate the Júcar basin authority focused on the Forata dam on October 29 and logged only one brief call about the Poyo ravine, whose overflow caused most deaths.
• The CHJ reports emergency works to boost capacity, including sediment removal and a low‑water channel at the Pozalet in Riba‑roja, escollera walls along the Poyo in several towns, and talus repairs in the Horteta at Torrent.
• Judicial and parliamentary inquiries remain active, with the judge probing the late and erroneous 20:11 alert and CHJ president Miguel Polo scheduled to testify on September 19.
