Overview
- New RTVE video audio from a 13:45 meeting on October 29 records Carlos Mazón noting a “first hydrological alert” at the Forata dam on the Magro and another attendee referencing the Barranc del Poyo.
- The recording places Mazón on notice of official alerts before he left for a lengthy lunch at El Ventorro, undercutting his public claim that midday information did not warrant altering his agenda.
- A 40dB survey published on October 9 finds 71% believe Mazón should resign and 75.5% rate his handling of the floods as poor or very poor, while a Lápiz projection still shows the PP as the most voted list with about 34 seats.
- Regional 9 d’Octubre ceremonies were curtailed by an AEMET orange rain alert, with Valencia canceling the Procesión Cívica and holding a reduced indoor act to return the Real Senyera to the municipal museum.
- First‑anniversary tributes continue across affected towns, a State funeral is scheduled at Valencia’s Ciutat de les Arts with the King and the prime minister expected, and Casa Real has invited mayors from DANA‑hit municipalities to the October 12 Royal Palace reception.
