Carlos Mazón, the president of the Generalitat Valenciana, has faced scrutiny over his communication during the catastrophic DANA event on October 29, which resulted in 228 fatalities. According to the call logs provided by former Interior Minister Salomé Pradas, Mazón was unreachable for over an hour between 18:30 and 19:43, a critical period during the emergency. Mazón has defended his actions, asserting that he was in constant communication throughout the day and attended to calls from many others during the time he was not in contact with Pradas. He spoke with Vicent Mompó at 17:46, the mayor of Cullera at 18:28, Francisco González at 18:48, Juanfran Pérez Llorca at 18:57, Javier Sendra at 19:34, Pilar Montes at 19:43, and María Jesús García at 20:19. The controversy has been compounded by the deletion of security camera footage from the Palau de la Generalitat on the day of the DANA. The Generalitat has explained that the footage is automatically overwritten after 15 days unless requested by law enforcement, in line with legal requirements. This has led to accusations from opposition parties PSPV and Compromís, who sought the footage to verify Mazón's activities between 15:00 and 20:33 on October 29. Further details reveal that Mazón and Pradas spoke just a minute before the ES-Alert was sent to the public at 20:11. Mazón has maintained that he was at the Palau during the event and has criticized the opposition for spreading what he calls 'permanent lies' about his communication status. The opposition, however, continues to question the management of the emergency and the lack of available footage.

The PSOE requires Feijóo to give the judge his calls and messages with Mazón on the day of the dance: “He must inform the court of everything he knew 'in real time'. Lies are falling like a house of cards” https://t.co/KB6mhFypyY
