By Santi González
A few days before the first anniversary of the DANA tragedy (29 October 2024-2025) in which they lost their lives 229 people, Valencians marched for the twelfth time to demand accountability from President Carlos Mazón (PP) for the management of DANA. The demonstration was called about 200 civil associations, political and union leaders and even the Dana firefighters and rescuers came with their uniforms.
Nails 50.000 People took to the streets to demand the resignation and entry into prison of Mazón and also the resignation of his entire Council due to the terrible management of a tragedy that could have been avoided if the president of the Community had risen to the occasion.. But not only that it was not up to par., but as is known, It was not even operational since that day with a red alert and receiving calls to go to Cecopi, he was eating in a restaurant with the journalist Maribel Vilaplana.
Throughout the entire route you could hear slogans such as "the president, in Picassent», «Mazón, I let gofrom » or "They are not dead, they are assasinats». You could also read messages that alluded to the hardest moments of the flood, signaling the late arrival of the ES-Alert, the "incompetence" in the management of the tragedy or the lack of information about what happened that 29 October, with mentions of Ventorro or Minister Salomé Pradas, as well as banners of remembrance for the fatal victims, T-shirts with the message «20.11: We forgot, nor lost" and words of gratitude for solidarity.
In addition to the request for resignations and justice, the demand for an investigation of the companies that put workers at risk and sent them to die was added.. Also that construction in flood zones be prohibited and everything that is still damaged be fully and effectively rebuilt., like educational centers. Linked to this, it is also important to demand that the management of the funds used for reconstruction be transparent, as well as the acceleration of bureaucratic deadlines and construction permits., something that is long overdue since it entails a lot of paperwork and the town councils were not reinforced so that they can manage this as quickly as possible.
One year after the worst catastrophe he has ever experienced the earth We demand the resignation and entry into Mazón prison, the resignation of the entire Consell. Since it is crazy that no one has yet taken responsibility, in the face of which the national government of Pedro Sánchez cannot wash its hands either. (PSOE). An independent commission is needed to manage public funds for reconstruction where leaders of victims' associations or representatives of those affected are part of the decisions.. The Valencian people do not lower their arms and we will continue to remember the 229 who lost their lives and 2 people who are still missing. We do not forget and we do not forgive.
