Overview
- PSPV-PSOE urged Alberto Núñez Feijóo to submit the entire WhatsApp conversation with Carlos Mazón, including his own outgoing messages, to the investigating judge.
- Feijóo on December 24 delivered Mazón’s messages and a notarial statement to the Juzgado de Instrucción de Catarroja and asked to testify remotely on January 9.
- In his filing, Feijóo acknowledged it was an error to say he was informed “in real time,” clarifying the initial contact came after he saw media reports.
- The WhatsApp exchanges ran from 20:08 to 23:29 on October 29, 2024, overlapping the contested ES-Alert, with Mazón reporting casualties in Utiel, access problems, UME deployment, and criticizing the central crisis committee.
- The judge cited Feijóo as a witness due to his contact with Mazón during the crisis, a period under scrutiny for decision-making and information flow during a storm that left 230 dead.
