Carlos Mazón denies before the court that the delay of the Es-Alert caused the deaths of the dana

Ex-President of the Valencian Community Carlos Mazón is defending himself in court regarding the management of the dana storm that killed 231 people on October 29, 2024. Although he is not formally accused, the court has indicated there are sufficient grounds to investigate him. His legal team, led by Ignacio Gally, argues that the delay in sending the Es-Alert warning did not cause the deaths, emphasizing the need to prove a direct causal link between the delay and specific fatalities. They challenge the prosecutor’s arguments, asserting that Mazón was not responsible for citizen safety and that no evidence exists of him instructing changes to the alert system.
