Puig Says Mazón’s Leadership Is Undermined After 29‑O Flood

Citing surveys that favor resignation, the former Valencian president frames Mazón’s position as a moral and reputational burden following the deadly DANA.

Overview

  • Ximo Puig argued the Generalitat bore clear responsibility on October 29 and asked how Carlos Mazón can sleep after the events, pointing to polls he cited showing more than 80% back resignation.
  • Puig contrasted the response to the 2019 Vega Baja DANA under his government, noting identical protocols but earlier class suspensions and his on‑site presence in Orihuela.
  • He warned that Mazón’s continuation creates a “moral mortgage” and a state of political blockage that, in his view, makes recovering effective leadership difficult.
  • Puig accused the current Consell and its supporting majority of direct attacks on the Valencian language, criticizing budget cuts to the Acadèmia Valenciana de la Llengua.
  • He welcomed the central government’s proposal to write down regional debt but cautioned that conditions for a real reform of the financing model are lacking without stronger incentives.
