La DANA contada por supervivientes: "Nos dijeron que no podían hacerse responsables"

Mazón refuted his own version last February. The PP leader claimed he had arrived at the meeting at 8:28 p.m. The alerts had been sent seventeen minutes earlier. Residents had been in agony for an hour, watching the floodwaters sweep away cars, homes, and lives. What did Mazón do then? The president still hasn't been able to reconstruct the afternoon of October 29th; no one knows where the regional leader was between 6:45 p.m. and 8:28 p.m. Those who do have a record of everything that happened that day are the police officers and firefighters who raised the alarm, the shopkeepers, truckers, and farmers, those returning home by car, those who lost loved ones, and also the municipal authorities. In short, the victims of the catastrophe. Público spoke with six residents of ground zero about the critical hours of the DANA, the hours when their president was absent. And they all agree that it won't be long before they forget where they were a year ago. 18 years ago, we were born with a commitment: to produce journalism that serves society. We can only continue this work if we have the support of people like you. Join the Público community. 18 years are nothing... when we still have so much to tell. Uncomfortable journalism for difficult times. http://bit.ly/3VylhmD Journalism, investigation, and commitment to building a more equal world.
