Overview
- Two major victims’ associations told an event in the European Parliament that the Generalitat’s management was “negligent and criminal” and vowed to pursue justice and reparation.
- The Brussels forum, hosted by Socialist MEPs, drew support from EU figures including Commission vice‑president Teresa Ribera, who warned against sidelining climate preparedness from public policy.
- Spain’s government delegate in Valencia, Pilar Bernabé, accused the regional administration of failing to activate emergency protocols during the DANA.
- The Congress inquiry set Carlos Mazón’s appearance for 17 November, with Susana Camarero and Vicent Mompó scheduled for 24 November as part of a 127‑witness work plan that also requests day‑of‑tragedy documentation and video.
- Victims criticized being kept out of Mazón’s Les Corts hearing, while prior testimony noted the alert delay was “a barbarity” and a judge has rejected attempts to blame AEMET or the Júcar basin authority.
