15.11.2024 ⇢ The day Mazón faced parliament while elders burned
⌨A deadly fire in a Zaragoza nursing home claimed 10 lives early morning, with reports crediting a fireproof door for preventing further casualties.
Valencia's President Mazón appeared before parliament for his delayed DANA response explanation. His three-hour defense evolved from initial acknowledgment of "system failures" to deflecting responsibility toward state agencies, particularly the Júcar Confederation. He announced a regional investigation commission and restructured his cabinet with new emergency and reconstruction positions, but offered no resignations.
By afternoon, opposition demanded a "technical president" to manage recovery efforts. Mazón, maintaining his position, stated he wouldn't seek reelection if unable to lead reconstruction. A NASA-affiliated Spanish physicist revealed the October 29 DANA had exceeded Spain's maximum rainfall measurement capabilities, adding scientific context to the political crisis.
