Overview
- The Les Corts investigation commission scheduled a Nov. 11 session to call Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez to testify on the 2024 DANA disaster.
- Vice President and Finance Minister María Jesús Montero, European Commissioner and former minister Teresa Ribera, Defense Minister Margarita Robles, Interior Minister Fernando Grande-Marlaska, and Valencian government delegate Pilar Bernabé are also cited.
- If the session goes ahead as planned, these would be the first appearances by political officeholders after earlier hearings focused on technicians and experts.
- Victims of the floods have not yet appeared before the commission and do not have a set date to do so.
- Attendance by national officials is not mandatory in the regional chamber, and a recent invitee from a state water authority declined to appear citing jurisdiction concerns.
