The Government Delegate in the Valencian Community Pilar BernabHe has expressed on Monday to the head of Instruction 3 of Catarroja, Nuria Ruíz Tobarra, who directs the previous proceedings of the case of the DANA, in the course of her statement, as a witness, which after communicating to the then Minister that emergencies that emergencies Salome Pradas Paiporta’s situation, the latter replied that this was happening in more municipalities. Something that sounds like a certain conformism to which it was falling and that is not the truth. Because when Pradas affirms that “that happens in more places,” What was referring to was that there were more municipalities with lack of coverage And, therefore, without communications. Pradas manifested in a context in which what was being discussed was how the message arrives It is alert to the population. Something that is known that it is so and not as Pilar Bernabé recounts because there is the circumstance that the Sea chainR emitted the Audio containing that part of the conversation this April 7. In that audio the context is perfectly clear.
The statement of the Government delegate in the Valencian Community Pilar Bernabé on Monday before the judge as a witness has been extended for seven hours. In the course of that time, there are mostly four more items that do not correspond to the truth.
One, that when he spoke with the Cecopi, what Pilar Bernabé said was not that the Poyo ravine was overflowing. Neither Nor was there talk of that ravineas the delegate herself has recognized in another passage from that same statement, as published by OKDIARIO, but only said there were floods in Paiporta.
And the response of Salomé Pradas, as can be seen from the aforementioned audio mentioned above was not “that happens in more municipalities” referring not to the floods, but to the coverage failures that were occurring. It is a passage that does not admit discussion by the audio aforesaid.
The second item also refers to BARRANCO DEL POYOr: That ravine did not begin to overflow at 18:43. If not that precisely the time when the Júcar Hydrographic Confederation sends the first mail from 4:13 pm, warning that the flow is already 1,686 cubic meters per second. While in the previous one, at 4:13 p.m., it was 27 cubic meters per second. That is, what happens at 18:43 is that the informative blackout of two and a half hours of the Júcar ends. And that the Poyo ravine is already totally overwhelmed.
Nor would it have been useful to summon Cecopi before, as the Government delegate maintains. Essentially, because the information that would really have saved lives, which was to know in a timely manner that the Poyo ravine was increasing its flow until it overflows, was not available as explained.
Moreover, after the Generalitat Valenciana issued the hydrological alert, what there was until Three Confederation Correos Júcar hydrographic saying that the poyo was dry.
Pilar Bernabé has also held in her statement that she offered the Military Emergency Unit (Ume) at 12:23 pm to Salomé Pradas and called it for that. But that the then Minister did not ask for it until 1:00 p.m. An affirmation that has been refuted by the sources consulted, which indicate that, in reality, what Pilar Bernabé did was manifest to Salome Pradas that if he needed something that asked. Said more simply: the prequel of the phrase that Pedro Sánchez later left.
