Valencia“Mazón resignation”, “The president in Picassent”, “You have no shame” or “Mazón in prison”. These were some of the cries uttered by the demonstrators who gathered outside the Courts to demand the resignation of the Valencian president for his controversial management of the DANA, which resulted in the death of 216 people in the worst weather of the century in the Valencian Country. The residents who gathered in front of the Courts carried the banner that opened Saturday’s historic demonstration in Valencia that gathered more than 100,000 people under the slogan “Mazón resignation”.
Protest against Carlos Mazón in front of the Valencian Courts
The deputies of Compromís have joined the rally before entering the plenary where Carlos Mazón appears this Friday to give explanations two weeks after the tragedy. The spokesman for Compromís a les Corts, Joan Baldoví, has considered that the president of the Valencian Generalitat, Carlos Mazón, has only “a dignified way out, which is to resign, after his “incompetence” when it comes to managing the crisis cold. “Obviously, a person who didn’t know how to manage the day of the catastrophe, but who above all is showing that he doesn’t know how to manage the days after this catastrophe either, who has lied repeatedly all Valencians and that the only thing he is thinking about is how to save his neck, he is a president who does not deserve to be president of five million Valencians”, he said.
Mazón, who did not appear at the Cecopi until half past eight in the evening, has blamed the State for being the first responsible for the devastation of the tragedy, even though it was the Valencian government that had to send the alert to the public , which he did not send until eight o’clock, with the situation already completely out of control. The belated reaction of the executive has caused a wave of indignation among Valencian citizens, who are demanding that he assume his responsibility and step aside as they have demanded of him again this Friday.
