The Dana judge orders to investigate the center of the Generalitat that sent the alert to the mobiles | News from the Valencian Community

New movement to clarify the rib of failures that led to the greatest natural tragedy of Valencia. The Catarroja judge that criminally investigates the Dana who left 227 dead, Nuria Ruiz Tobarra, has focused on the headquarters that managed the crisis. The instructor has asked the Civil Guard for a report About the Cecopi, the Emergency Center of the Generalitat That, among other key decisions, sent the late message to mobile phones to inform the population of the magnitude of the cold drop. The letter arrived at 8:11 p.m. on October 29, when there were dozens of deaths, missing and people trapped in low floors and garages. And, according to the magistrate, if the red button on the phones had been operated before, the number of fatalities would have fallen.

In her investigation battery on the Cecopi, the judge investigates where they are and what angles cover the security cameras located at the entrance and the interior of this center based in L’Aliana (Valencia, 19,597 inhabitants). The magistrate also wants to know what images the installation screens share, analyze the system that guarantees telephony coverage and how their telematic meetings are recorded. The proceedings are not free. The Valencian government recognized the instructor a “break” at the online meeting held by the Cecopi on the day of the Dana. An appointment that was not registered either in minutes or videos.

The Civil Guard must also include in its report data on the Cecopi system that allows to know the automatic location of the 112 calls, the Emergency Attention Service of the Generalitat. Although the Mazón Government has defended that it lacked information on the magnitude of the catastrophe and, therefore, I do not send the alert before, the operators of this autonomous switchboard received dozens of despair calls from 16.40 hours of populations such as Chiva (Valencia, 16,750 inhabitants), where the Poyo ravine is born.

The judge has also ordered the Civil Guard to report on the emergency center system that shows in real time where aircraft, helicopters and mobile units that are used on devices such as 29-0 are located.

Among the proceedings, it also highlights claiming the Valencian Agency for Security and Emergencies (AVSRE) the Cecopi staff. The documentation must detail tasks, training and personal data of the employees who went to the center of L’Eliana the day of the tragedy. At 17.00 in the afternoon of 29-O, a crisis committee started in this agency in which 29 representatives of municipal, autonomic and state institutions participated.

The judge has also required the Cecopi that provided documentation on the Special Flood Plan and what information on this matter was sent on the day of the tragic day to the municipalities – 78 municipalities suffered the flood – and councils in the radius of action of the ravine of the poyo, whose overflow unleashed the catastrophe. The magistrate requests the Director General of Natural and Animal Environment, who depends on the Ministry of Environment of the Generalitat, information on what was done in this ravine the day of the flood.

Most of these movements to break down the functioning of the Cecopi arise at the request of Cultural Acció, which exercises the popular accusation together with Podemos, the PSPV-PSOE, the CGT, Vox, Citizens or the Liberum Association.

No to the Videoconference Declaration of former Emergencies Number

Emilio Argüeso, Autonomic Secretary of Emergencies during the flood, must declare in court. The instructor has knocked down her request to appear telematically as charged according to « the seriousness of the facts » investigated, the Dana who left 227 dead and a trail of destruction. The judge contrasts the initial intention of this former high position of the Mazón Executive not to go to the Court with the effort that the victims are making to appear in person. Since the investigation started, more than 110 relatives have paraded before the official. « The almost all of the relatives of the harmed deceased are appearing in person at judicial headquarters, despite their serious mood affectation, some of them with serious physical difficulty have moved from other populations, » says Ruiz Tobarra in a notified car notified this Thursday. The former number two of emergencies, adds the magistrate, must go to the Court because there is no « difficulty » or reasons of « public order » so that it does not do so on April 11.

Argüeso and the former Counseling of Justice and Interior Salome Pradas have been charged since last March 10 for alleged crimes of reckless homicide and reckless injuries, which are punished with up to four and three years in jail, respectively. Both are pending that an appeal is resolved with which they try to avoid appearing as investigated. Through his lawyer, the former Magistrate of the Provincial Court of Madrid Eduardo de Urbano, Pradas appeared in his appeal as a “head of Turk” and Argüeso came to say that he acted during the Dana “with absolute responsibility and diligence”.

In the order of imputation of Pradas and Argüeso, which were dismissed by the President four weeks after the catastrophe, The magistrate also opened the door to the voluntary statement of Mazón as investigated. The popular baron rejected the proposal. The citation as accused of the Chief of the Consell would have to approve the Superior Court of Justice of the Valencian Community (TSJCV) after the reasoning of the instructor.
