Pedro Sánchez’s government is clear about its road map on the Accountability of the DANA management and has chosen his ‘head of Turk’, if the time comes. It is none other than the president of the Júcar Hydrographic Confederation (CHJ), Miguel Polo. The statement before the judge of the Government delegate in the Valencian Community, Pilar Bernabé, leaves clear where the central executive places the firewalls so that it does not affect political positions And that is pole.
Bernabé made clear to the court that the president of the CHJ did not inform him about the situation of the flow that grew exponentially in the Barranco del Poyo and neither of the danger of overflow of the lean river. Validate the version of the Valencian Government that in the Cecopi there was only talk of the Forata dam.
This statement is very clarifying Inaction on that day of Miguel Poloat least, on the most crucial issues for the tragic outcome of the episode of extreme rains.
Bernabé leaves some loopho so that Polo can defend himself as is the fact that it understands that it is the Generalitat that had to monitor the ravines at level 2 of emergencies; also that the whole day was talking to her; and that the flow data did not have to know because that is sent from the automatic hydrological information system of the CHJ.
Waiting for your statement
These are the arguments that Polo could use before the judge when he puts his statement as a witness before the head of instruction 3 of Catarroja that centralizes the cause on the management of the Dana. The Valencia Provincial Court You must also pronounce on whether Miguel Polo passes from his current condition Witness to investigatedas requested by several of the parties personally in the process, something that the judge has refused.
The Júcar Hydrographic Confederation does not have the task of civil protection but the obligation to inform about river and ravines flows to help prevention, an issue that failed loudly (together with the performance of the Generalitat, the mayors and the government) and that resulted in a Population helplessness.
-POSSIBLE POLO REPROCHE
During Bernabé’s testimony, which lengthened for 7 hours, and questions from the Dana Horta Sud association, explained that “I don’t remember” If he recriminated Miguel Polo that he had heard about the overflow of the Magro River by the media and justifies it that he focused on “trying to collect more information to collaborate and help.”
This issue suggests that this reproach could exist in the face of an overflow that the president of the CHJ should have informed Bernabé as a person in charge of coordinating state agencies.
The weakest link
Miguel Polo’s figure is the most ‘expendable’ for the Government, since Pilar Bernabé is a government delegate and next Candidate for mayor of Valencia (And in the bedroom in case Diana Morant does not just take off).
The action of the former minister for the ecological transition and the demographic challenge, Teresa Riberait is also in the eye of the hurricane to be in Brussels on October 29 but Sánchez Blinda to the now European Commissioner of competition.
And the government dome with emergency responsibilities – which was out of Spain (in Brazil and Colombia) – will not be object of a ‘purification’.
Therefore, the Government has assumed that if you have to drop someone, it will be Miguel Polo who is The only ‘indicated’ alternative to the Government of Mazón. It was also in the last TVE report on the occasion of compliance with the sixth month of the lethal Dana.
