The President of the working state of Valencia, Carlos Mazzone, appeared this afternoon before the Investigative Committee of the Valencian Courts to present a report on the reconstruction work in the area affected by the riots of October 2024, which claimed 229 lives, and to answer questions from parliamentary groups. A week has passed since his retreat, on November 3rd, and his last public appearance at the plenary session of the Valencian government held the next day in Alicante. He has been silent since then.
His appearance, in which he submits his own petition and in which he is obliged to tell the truth, comes amid complete secrecy on the part of the PP and Vox regarding contacts and negotiations for possible relief before the General Government, with a deadline for presenting a candidate ending on 19 November. After new discoveries broke the siege on his performance that afternoon, he thought that he continued sleeping with journalist Maribel Villaplana until at least 18:45, when he was then advising Interior Minister Salome Pradas, and he was informed at 17:37 of his “extreme danger” that he had experienced in a hotel, as this periodical revealed.
Mazzone will speak before the committee in front of the families of the victims, who have not yet been summoned by the same council, while the People’s Party and Vox, which he chairs, have the majority. Family members will also be present in the room, although they intended it by invitation to be attended by the PSPV-PSOE, because the space is very tight and the Presidency of the Cortes, in the hands of Fox, gave priority to high-level positions and presidential advisors. You can continue from the attached space. There will also be a presence of journalists. A room on another floor was allocated for victims’ representatives. Rosa Alvarez, president of the Dana 29-O Mortuary Victims Association, rejected this alternative, which is considered shameful.
Mazzone would be the first political leader to assist the aforementioned committee, and this was the only moment to celebrate two sessions (in July and October), dedicated to technicians and experts, despite being the first to constitute all the ongoing meetings (Senado and Congress). Mazzone was cited in a congressional committee on November 17.
Sh president It was the same day that the head of government, Pedro Sánchez, then Vice President of Spain, and other members of the Spanish government’s cabinet were summoned to attend because they were not obligated to do so in the autonomous parliaments. It is only expected that the investigation committees of the Riada de las Cortes Generales will be contacted.
Attendance will take place at 16:00 in one of the usual rooms of the independent chamber committees, and the intervention shifts will be organized in a first round of 3 minutes for each parliamentary group, and 15 minutes for those present. A second round for parliamentary groups, lasting 6 minutes, and a final round for parliamentary groups, lasting 6 minutes. However, the Committee reserves the possibility of extending the time to a maximum of another 7 minutes “if necessary”.
Mazzone’s announcement raised great expectations because it continues without knowing some details of what he said president The day of the dance was hidden after his four-hour lunch with journalist Maribel Villaplana at the El Venturo restaurant, when tragedy struck. Consell’s boss, as revealed by her Vilaplana, accompanied her at around 18.45 on October 29 to the parking lot near the restaurant, where the car was parked.
This is the latest version of the steps Chief Consell took during that fateful afternoon, steps shrouded in unknowns and details that had been hidden for nearly a year. Mazzone was there all this time, and then proceeded to the Palau de la Generalitat, where he worked until he left for Cecopi, where he arrived at 20.28.
But new data has been developed to discover that Mazzone I arrived at the Palau de la Generalitat at about 19.45 or a little later, as this patrol revealed. Your stay was very fleeting, just a few minutes, you had to see her and then left, around 20:00, in Cecopi.
The PSPV and Comromís have been notified president That you have an “obligation to determine the truth” in the courts. Since the PSPV, José Muñoz Mazón has demanded the approval of his announcement to introduce the Ventoro bill, something that the Socialists have demanded “both positively and negatively”, and who considered that this protest could be a “great day” for him to present this document. Muñoz also complained that he was dealing with the phone company’s call log on October 29, “in the list he gave me (that he handed over) and we don’t know if all the calls are there.”
Since Compromes, its secretary Juan Baldovi has also denounced Mazzone’s use of this investigative committee for “absolute convenience”, at the expense of “her interest in searching for the truth and clarifying what happened” on 29 October. Moreover, the coalition spokesman expressed his regret that in the Valencian Parliament “Mazzone will appear before the victims, who can go to Europe, Congress and here at his home but cannot speak.”
On the contrary, the parliamentary spokesman for the People’s Party, Juan Francisco Pérez Yurca, remained absent from the members of the central executive because he did not respond to the invitation of the Valencian courts. “I don’t want to come and give clarifications,” he said this month after a Speakers’ Council meeting where the approval process for Mazzone’s morning appearance was discussed.
The Acord Social Valencià entity – one of the organizers of the demonstrations that protested every month last year against the administration of Hizo Mazon de la Dana – will focus around the three and the media in the afternoon outside the autonomous parliament to demand “truth and justice.”
