The Dana judge investigates the calls of the coach who sent the alert with the leaders of the Generalitat Valenciana | News from the Valencian Community

A day after the judicial statement of Miguel M.the emergency chief who validated the massive message to mobile phones with which the Generalitat Valenciana notified the population of the magnitude of the Dana, the judge who instructs the cause, Nuria Ruiz Tobarra, wants to investigate with what high charges this employee maintained this employee who, the day of the flood, validated the message from his home because he telephated.

The instructor has voluntarily requested from Miguel M., head of Technology of 112, the screenshots of her phone. It intends to find out the communications he had with other high positions of the area that managed the crisis during the day that left 228 dead and a trail of destruction in the province of Valencia, according to a providence notified this Friday.

In his statement as a witness, which forced him to tell the truth, Miguel M., the person responsible for validating the notice, said that the deputy director of this area, Jorge Suárez, proposed for the first time to send the day of the flood one is alert at 18.36 hours, an hour and a half before the final notification arrived, which sneaked into the phones at 20.11. Then, they were piled up dead, missing and people trapped in low floors and garages in municipalities such as Paiporta or Catarroja. The instructor, who has transformed this letter into the cornerstone of her inquiries, argues that the delay in this notification triggered the death toll.

The verification of the time in which the Generalitat first put the idea of ​​sending an alert to mobiles on the Cecopi table- the organ of the Generalitat that coordinated the crisis- is crucial. The former council of Justice and Interior Salome Pradas held last month during her judicial statement that the proposal was formalized « from 7:00 p.m. ». The former director appeared as a witness and, therefore, without the obligation to tell the truth.

In addition, when the emergency chief who validated the message received the first call about the possibility of sending a is alert, the Cecopi recorded a disconnection. The blackout lasted between 6:00 p.m. and 7:00 p.m. and prevented institutions such as the Government delegation in the Valencian Community, which were connected by videoconferencing at the meeting, following the debate on the suitability and terms of the notification. Next to the delay, the content of the letter has also been harshly criticized by the instructor. The text did not recommend the population to climb to the first plants.

The judge has also cited this Friday as witnesses to the General Director of the Environment of the Department of Environment, Infrastructure and Territory of the Generalitat, Luis Gomis, and an operator of the Automatic Hydrological Information Service (SAIH) – the system that measures the flow of the Barrancos – of the Júcar Hydrographic Confederation (CHJ), which depends on the Ministry for the Ecological Transition.

Through the SAIH, the CHJ sent information between 16.13 hours and 18.43 about the ravine of the poyo, trigger for the tragedy. And this application, which details the cubic meter per second, could be consulted by the Generalitat. The judge investigating the catastrophe He wields this detail to assert that the government agency sent sufficient data to the authorities and thus discard the imputation of the president of the CHJ, Miguel Polo.
