Translating the information provided by the president of the PP, Alberto Núñez Feijóo, based on the data received from the central government authorities, controversy arose regarding the management of the DANA and the weather forecasts. Minister Marlaska criticized the Generalitat for sending alerts, while the official information indicated that the DANA would move north of the community with less rain, which did not happen, according to sources from the Valencian government.
The government delegate in Valencia admitted that improvement in the situation was expected from 6:00 PM on Tuesday, information that did not correspond with reality. The Generalitat is focusing on assistance to victims and the search for the missing, hoping that the opposition's criticisms will focus on these humanitarian efforts.
Despite the central government's efforts in assisting victims and searching for the missing, criticisms also arose against the Valencian Generalitat administration, particularly against its president, Carlos Mazón. Initial weather forecasts indicated a decrease in rainfall, but the situation worsened, causing concern. Both the government delegate and the head of climatology at Aemet maintained a perspective similar to that conveyed by the president of the Generalitat, indicating shared official information at that time.
The statements by Mazón, Feijóo, and the climatological authorities agreed on the information received about the evolution of the storm, despite not meeting the initial expectations for improvement. The criticisms focused on the alleged lack of clarity in the forecasts, as intense rainfall persisted throughout the day, demonstrating the complexity of the situation faced.
