Overview
- Generalitat spokesperson Susana Camarero said Mazón monitored the red-alert rains remotely and described the coordination meetings as technical rather than political.
- Authorities reported that the red alert began at 20:00 in Castellón and at 04:00 in Valencia, and PP officials said Mazón returned to the region several hours before those activations.
- PP leader Alma Ezcurra argued procedures were updated after last year’s disaster, pointing to the use of Es-Alert and other changes, and accused critics of a double standard by questioning Mazón but not Catalan president Salvador Illa.
- Camarero maintained that current meetings were not Cecopi sessions because the situation was classified as pre-emergency, rejecting claims that the integrated coordination center should have been convened.
- Opposition voices renewed criticism over Mazón’s absence, with Gabriel Rufián delivering a harsh rebuke, and critics again invoking the 29-O tragedy and the El Ventorro episode to challenge his credibility.
