MadridAlberto Núñez Feijóo appears this morning at the investigation commission of the dana in the Congress of Deputies. The leader of the PP has been summoned to give explanations about the information he received from former president Carlos Mazón on the day of the tragedy in the Valencian Country, which left more than 200 people dead.
His appearance, which will start at 11:00 a.m., comes almost a month after he testified online on January 9 before the Catarroja judge who is leading the investigation. On that occasion he assured that on the fateful October 29, 2024 he did not know that a Cecopi had been called and where the former Valencian president was during the afternoon, contrary to what he had said shortly after the floods.
Regarding the different versions that Mazón has given since then about where he was and what he did when the emergency was already underway, Feijóo said that they had not been changes, but “concretions”. And he defended that the then Valencian president should not resign as a result of his management, but focus on the reconstruction.
Feijóo’s team frames this Monday’s appearance in an electoral strategy of the PSOE to help its candidate, ex-minister Pilar Alegría, in the last week of the Aragon election campaign, in which the polls predict a very bad result for the socialists. “It is an electoral act of the PSOE of Aragon in Madrid”, assure Europa Press sources of the party leadership.
After the appearance of the head of the ranks of the popular, at around 15:30 it will be the turn of Amparo López Boluda, worker of the 112 service. A week from now, on February 9, José Manuel Cuenca, Mazón’s former chief of staff, will have to appear for the second time, as agreed by PSOE and Sumar, who have a majority at the commission table.
