Overview

  • Judge Nuria Ruiz Tobarra has invalidated the Generalitat's defenses and is advancing indictments against ex-consellera Salomé Pradas and ex-secretary Emilio Argüeso.
  • For the third time, Judge Ruiz Tobarra has invited President Carlos Mazón to testify voluntarily before the Tribunal Superior de Justicia de la Comunitat Valenciana (TSJCV).
  • President Mazón faces mounting public pressure, with seven protests demanding his resignation over his handling of the October 2024 flood emergency.
  • Key witness Vicent Mompó confirmed disarray in the emergency command center on October 29, 2024, citing delays in issuing the critical flood alert.
  • Institutional blame continues as the Generalitat, central government, and other agencies dispute responsibility for the delayed warning, with AEMET filing a complaint over a manipulated communication leak.
