Miguel Burdeos, one of Mercadona’s main suppliers, is among those missing in Valencia, following the bad weather that affected southeast Spain, according to the Spanish press.
It should be noted that the man is the founder and owner of SPB, which manufactures cleaning and hygiene products for Mercadona’s own brands, Bosque Verde and Deliplus.
In addition to him, there are three other Valencian businessmen missing. They are the founder of the sports brand Luanvi, Vicente Tarancón, the former director of the Edem business school, Antonio Noblejas, and José Luis Marín, founder of the Siglo XXI schools.
The four are people very close to the president of Mercadona, Juan Roig.
According to the Spanish daily ABC, the four businessmen had scheduled a lunch last Tuesday, in the town of Chiva, one of the most affected by the floods, because they were interested in some warehouses in the area. After the meeting, they were surprised by the storm.
People close to them explain that the businessmen left the La Orza de Ángel restaurant and that the last communication they had with them was at 6 pm. Since then, they have not heard back.
It is recalled that the bad weather that hit Spain since Tuesday caused the death of at least 158 people, the highest number in the country since the deadly floods of October 1973, when 300 people died.
Of the total, 155 victims were recorded in the most affected region, in Valencia, with two other deaths occurring in the neighboring region of Castilla-La Mancha and one in Andalusia.
At issue is the influence of an “isolated depression at high levels”, a meteorological phenomenon known as DANA in Spanish and as DINA in Portuguese.
The phenomenon caused torrential rain and incidents in several parts of Spain, especially on the Mediterranean coast.
