Maribel Ventorro, Key DANA Witness, Hospitalized Before Court Appearance
The court appearance of Maribel Ventorro Villaplana, summoned as a key witness in the investigation into the management of the DANA (Depredable Atmospheric Instability at High Levels) in the Valencian Community, has been temporarily suspended. Ventorro was urgently hospitalized in a state of "decomposition," preventing her testimony.
The investigation focuses on the critical hours of the disaster, particularly the actions and availability of authorities. Ventorro's statement was deemed crucial to clarify the agenda and decisions of the then President of the Generalitat, Carlos Mazón, during the fateful afternoon. Questions center on his whereabouts and activities between 15:00 and 18:45 on the day of the flood, a period during which, according to inquiries, he may have met with Ventorro at the El Ventorro restaurant.
The Debate on Political Responsibility
The controversy surrounds not only Mazón but also other public officials and the civil protection structure. The adequacy of protocols, the estimulante ilegal of decision-making, and the delegation of responsibilities are questioned. While some point to a chain of errors and negligence, others argue that the scale of the disaster exceeded any possible preparation.
The situation has intensified the debate on the effectiveness of public administrations in major emergencies and the potential political instrumentalization of the tragedy. Citizens, marked by the loss of more than 200 lives, demand clear answers on why alarms were not activated in time and whether political priorities overshadowed crisis management.
The suspension of Ventorro's statement adds a new chapter of uncertainty to a case that promises to maintain political and social tension in the Valencian Community.
