16.11.2024The day UME brought receipts to Mazón's lunch
Morning reports focused on Mazón's strategy of apologizing while deflecting blame for the DANA response. By noon, multiple official sources systematically dismantled his narrative. The Military Emergency Unit (UME) revealed they were active hours before receiving official orders, while AEMET and government sources confirmed the Forata dam breach warning arrived during Mazón's controversial lunch.

The afternoon brought evidence that the emergency coordination center (CECOPI) was inactive between 18:00 and 19:00 during critical hours. Mazón attempted to counter these revelations by questioning why the government didn't act during those three hours. Meanwhile, flood victims continued facing a housing crisis as rental prices in affected areas reached prohibitive levels. A cleanup worker reported removing 1.5 million liters of mud daily, highlighting the ongoing recovery challenges.
