Valencian Socialists Press Feijóo to Hand Over Full WhatsApp Thread as Judge Probes 2024 Dana Response

The exchanges now form part of the evidence in the inquiry into Valencia’s 230‑fatality storm response.

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.
