PSOE and Sumar Revive DANA Floods Inquiry With Phased Plan, Deferring Sánchez’s Appearance

The roadmap prioritizes victims’ accounts, reserving the prime minister for a later reconstruction phase.

Overview

  • Congress’ stalled commission will restart under a PSOESumar agreement that outlines two phases and a draft list of 97 witnesses.
  • Hearings could begin in November, with an initial block of 36 appearances planned over roughly three months.
  • Victims would go first, followed by Valencian authorities, with regional president Carlos Mazón slated for early questioning alongside figures such as Salomé Pradas and government delegate Pilar Bernabé.
  • Pedro Sánchez is included for the final phase on recovery and aid, with his testimony expected around June–July 2026 and not treated at the same level as regional leaders.
  • The plan has support from Podemos and Àgueda Micó, though the full lineup and calendar still need negotiation after months of paralysis since the commission’s May 21 constitution.
