Feijóo agrees to send the judge his messages with Mazón on the day of the dana | Spain

The conversation between Alberto Núñez Feijóo and Carlos Mazón on the day of the tragic Dana will be revealed in full soon. The leader of the PP confirmed, in an interview with the Servimedia agency published this Thursday, that he will send another notarial deed to Judge Nuria Ruiz Tobarra de Catarroja with the messages he wrote at the time president of the Valencian Community. He will do this after having already sent the WhatsApp that Mazón sent him and after the instructor investigating the management of the cold fall that left 230 dead in Valencia asked him for “the possibility of voluntarily contributing” to the communications in their entirety. In his first statements of the new year, Feijóo also predicts that “the judicial program” of the President of the Government, Pedro Sánchez, “will be even tougher” in 2026 and could lead to the early calling of general elections.

The interview, broadcast this Thursday to inaugurate the year, took place Monday afternoon. That is, just a few hours after the order was known by which the judge accepted that Feijóo testify as a witness by videoconference on the 9th. And that the instructor asked in this same document the leader of the PP to transmit the messages that he sent to Mazón during the telephone conversation held between 8:08 p.m. and 8:08 p.m. and 11:29 p.m. on the day of dana, in addition to those of former president.

“If the judge wants to know the messages, to know what happened in Valencia that night, have no doubt that, in the same way I collaborated, I will continue to do so,” says Feijóo. “As soon as I have a notary on duty, I will summon him again, I will show him my cell phone again, he will transcribe the messages and I will transmit them to the judge,” adds the PP leader. In mid-December, the instructor accepted the request of the Association of Mortal Victims Dana 29-O, which is suing the private prosecution, to call Feijóo as a witness and justified his decision in that it could “motivate the comments” that Mazón could have “made” on October 29 “following the conversations” with the Minister of Justice and Interior at the time, Salomé Pradas, investigated in this preliminary procedure, “on the information she received.

After this movement, the popular leader sent the list of messages that Mazón wrote to the Court of Catarroja last Christmas Eve, accompanied by a contextual document, but not those written by himself in the conversation, alleging that the instructor had not requested them. “This is going to be a fucking disaster,” Mazón wrote to him, among other things, on the fateful day when he had already left the El Ventorro restaurant after eating for about four hours with the journalist Maribel Vilaplana.

But, in the order known this Monday 29, the judge offers Feijóo “the possibility of voluntarily contributing to the file within three days the WhatsApp messages which are an integral part” of the conversation of that day with Mazón. If the PP leader meets this deadline, the communications are about to be submitted to the Court of Catarroja. Of course, Feijóo also shows his disagreement with this request. “It’s surprising that an opposition leader, 450 kilometers from a tragedy like this, can have any importance in terms of his decisions or his actions, isn’t it? In short, there are a lot of people in government from whom they haven’t asked anything… but it’s a judicial decision,” he says. And he emphasizes that he does not want to adhere to “the theory of right» promoted by the government of Pedro Sánchez.

The person who made his attacks against Catarroja’s instructor explicit is the PP deputy in Congress, Rafael Hernando. “What Judge Tobarra is doing is unusual. She continues against Núñez Feijóo, who has no competence in prevention or aid to those affected at the time of the damage, but asks nothing neither from the President of the Government nor from the ministers responsible for prevention and aid. Delirium”, wrote the popular parliamentarian on Tuesday on the social network X.
