17.11.2024The day flood data washed away Mazón's story
New forensic data revealed half of DANA casualties occurred inside homes and garages, undermining the regional government's emergency response narrative. The Military Emergency Unit disclosed a 10-hour gap between their first report and intervention, adding to the documented timeline of delays.

President Mazón responded by restructuring his government, appointing Susana Camarero as spokesperson, while scheduling a parliamentary appearance for November 27 to explain why National Emergency wasn't declared. Recovery efforts in Alfafar and Sedaví continued, with affected communities rebuilding amid rising rental costs.

The evening news cycle shifted to international developments as Biden authorized Ukraine to use ATACMS missiles within Russian territory, marking a significant policy change two months before his expected departure from office.
