The president of the Popular Party, Alberto Núñez Feijóo, sent this Wednesday to the Court of Instruction of Catarroja, which is investigating the management of the damage that caused 230 deaths in the province of Valencia, the ‘whatsapp’ messages that were sent to the former president of the Generalitat Carlos Mazón on the day of the tragedy, and requested that the appearance scheduled for January 9 take place electronically.
The judge summoned the national leader of the PP to testify at the request of the Association of Mortal Victims Dana 29-0, who is the private prosecutor in the proceedings.
The instructor justified her decision by the fact that this witness could “give reason to the comments” that the president of the Generalitat Valenciana at the time “could have made” on October 29, 2024 “following the conversations” with the Minister of Justice and the Interior at the time, Salomé Pradas, investigated in this preliminary procedure, “on the information she received”.
PP sources indicated that Feijóo sent a letter to the court “to confirm his absolute willingness to collaborate in the investigation”, more in this case, “out of obligatory respect that the victims of the dana and their families deserve”.
In the document sent, the leader of the PP requested that the appearance take place electronically, in accordance with current legislation.
From the PP, they indicated that the judge offered the possibility of sending Carlos Mazón’s messages of October 29, 2024 “voluntarily” and, although he is not obliged to do so, “Feijóo sent today a notarial deed that attests each of the messages received that day by the “former president”, as well as the context in which they were produced for better understanding”.
The “populars” explained that Feijóo and Mazón exchanged all messages via “Whatsapp”, “without calls, emails or any other communication system being established”.
Finally, the PP indicated that “not only does it have full confidence in justice”, but “it will not contribute to the discredit initiated by the Spanish government”. “There is no right in our country and the decisions of judges are not fought, they are obeyed,” he defended.
