The PP criticizes in the Senate that the Dana judge does not point to the central government | Spain

After A month without session of the DANA Research Commission in the Senatethe appearances of technical experts requested by the Popular Party have resumed on Wednesday. After the break, the advances of the judicial investigation in charge of Judge Nuria Ruiz, of Catarroja, revealed during the last days, They have come to light during the day in most of the interventions of the senators, also in the mouth of the appearing parties. And with evening criticism by the PP. « The magistrate has recognized the manifest passivity of the Government of the Nation because she does not point to any responsibility to the Government of the Nation simply because the Government of the Nation did absolutely nothing, » said the popular senator José Antonio Monago. « And, therefore, it excludes it from responsibility, which we do not share. » The claims of the parliamentarian have caused the protest of the socialist bench: the PSOE understood that the pronouncements of the instructor judge were being misrepresented.

While the interrogations continue experts in the Investigation Commission, the PP has not yet scheduled any appearance of political leaders, despite having presented weeks ago a list that includes President Pedro Sánchez and several ministers, although anyone from the Generalitat except for President Carlos Mazón. The names cited on Wednesday by the PP were those of the Professor of Civil Law of the University of Valencia and former magistrate of the Supreme Court, Javier Orduña, and the President of the National Federation of Communities of Irrigation of Spain (Fenacore), Juan Valero de Palma. Both have followed the guideline marked by other appearances called at the request of the Popular Party by emphasizing the “hydraulic works” projected but not executed, which in their opinion had mitigated the damage of the DANA of the Valencian Community, which left 227 dead and a missing one.

The most critical of the central government has been the former Magisterous of the Supreme Court. « They are vital works, that is, they serve to save lives, » he said in his speech. Although, yes, Orduña has recognized that these infrastructure could have been executed by all the central executives that have passed through the Moncloa since 2005. « Unfortunately, the last government is the socialist, but there have been many years. I am not talking about any political party in general, » said the professor.

« What can not be for ideological reasons, due to prejudices, discard the dams, are still necessary, » said the president of Fenacore in a much shorter intervention than the previous one because in the room another investigation commission promoted by the popular ones, the Koldo case, with the intervention of the ex -asor’s brother of the former socialist leader José Luis Ábalos. The president of Fenacore has used a more conciliatory tone than his predecessor and has asked the parties to « focus on the reconstruction and preparation for future DANAS. »

Another of the friction points has been the National Emergency Declaration. The lawyer charged against Interior Minister Fernando Grande-Marlaska, for not having assumed the Single Command. But finally he acknowledged that Mazón could have declared the Catastrophic Emergency State under article 12.4 of the Civil Protection Law. Last week, Judge Nuria Ruiz insisted on a car as A national statement of emergency that « neither was declared stately, nor was it proposed by the Valencian Administration, of which the two investigated are part. There was consensus at the regional and central level in which this statement did not proceed, nor on October 29 nor the subsequent days. » Orduña has referred to the performance of the magistrate directly. « I don’t want to argue with the judge. That passivity will have to be analyzed in all links. The Minister of Interior will have to answer, » he said.

Both the PSOE and the leftist formations have again criticized that the PP has not accepted in the Investigation Commission to Political Responsible of the Generalitat. This Wednesday, specifically, they have focused on the trajectory of Orduña, that after the Dana had censored the acting of the central administration. The former Supreme Magister attributed « ensuring people’s lives during the Dana » as « State competence. » « We have not just understood why he is called (to this investigation commission), » summarized the socialist senator Alfonso García.
