Valencian Liaison to DANA Flood Victims Resigns

Officials pledge uninterrupted assistance for flood victims through the hotline.

Overview

  • The Consell approved the cessation of Rosa María Touris at her own request after months serving as the government's primary contact for DANA victims.
  • Touris had personally attended the victims' assistance phone line, a role she assumed drawing on her prior Guardia Civil and CNDES experience with families of missing persons.
  • The regional government says the hotline will continue and another director general will take over victim attention, though no successor has been named.
  • Relations with parts of the victims' community remain strained, with major associations declining meetings with the president and organizing regular protests.
  • Her departure comes during a political transition following Carlos Mazón’s resignation and ahead of the investiture process for PP candidate Juanfran Pérez Llorca.
