Antoni Bassas's analysis: 'Mazón. He folds a little lamb with tearful eyes, cynical and a liar'

Carlos Mazón appeared this morning and announced his resignation. He has asked the PP and VOX parliamentary groups to step down. Those who tolerate his government should negotiate his replacement.Mazón's idea, then, is to step down as president but remain a member of parliament to maintain parliamentary immunity and be tried only by the Supreme Court, that Second Chamber which the PP boasted of controlling through the back door.

Mazón has announced his resignation, but we'll see how this episode ends because if Vox refuses to invest another PP president, andThe Valencian Community will have to hold early elections

Today we still have to hear from Feijóo, who has been clearly exposed for his lack of authority, because until the day of the first anniversary event he was still defending Mazón and He has covered it up from the beginningNow, of course, he's disavowing Mazón. And we still have to hear from Santiago Abascal, the leader of Vox, who holds the key to governing the Valencian Community.

But while we wait to see how things unfold, we should talk about Mazón's farewell speech today. It was an incredible, mind-blowing, unprecedented 20 minutes. It's hard to top the record for political indecency of his presidency. Well, he's done it. He's done it by presenting himself as a victim. Him. As a victim. With 229 deaths due to his government's incompetence, he's the victim, and he can't take it anymore.

Mazón: "I can assure you that, of my own free will, I would have resigned a long time ago. There have been unbearable moments, for me, but above all for my family. I sincerely believed that it would be easier for me to demonstrate from this vantage point what happened in the management of the emergency, the information we didn't have, the information we didn't have; earth after the devastation."

Like Camilo Sesto, "I can't take it anymore"Deep down, what we heard this morning had the feel of a political testament, but it was nothing more than a statement of defense, a kind of draft of what he will declare before the judge so that he doesn't send him to jail. Him, the man who didn't have the information, the man who didn't receive the help. The man who is a good person next to one.

Mazón: "He wanted to use the victims as a battering ram, and even when we asked for help or resources, they didn't give them to us, not even in the days after the tragedy, when we urgently needed them. I hope that when the noise dies down a bit, society will be able to distinguish between a man who made a mistake and a bad person."

Mazón wanted to go down fighting, but political corpses can no longer kill. His claim that he didn't have the information is a lie. To prove this lie, listen to the recordings of the weather reports on Valencian television that morning. Listen to the recording of the regional minister at the Emergency Center, saying, at 2 p.m., that they were concerned about the state of the Poio ravine. We can talk about the help from the Spanish government, but everything Mazón says is indefensible. If that's not enough, listen to him reviewing the list of his government's successes, which includes resisting Catalan separatism.

Mazón: "I am therefore also addressing, at this moment, that living, active parliamentary majority. The one that has done away with the inheritance tax and many others, with the imposition of educational taxes and separatist politics as a linguistic business. The one that continues to lower taxes, is finally building health centers, hospitals, schools, and trams; is waging war on the bureaucracy; is demanding the water we deserve; is protecting our agriculture with common sense; and, ultimately, is defending freedom."

When you have an image crisis, bring out the Catalans or the Catalan man, and you will be immediately applauded. Mazón speaking about separatismHe, or they, who spend their days separating Catalan from Valencian. Talking about linguistic imposition, when they hold a referendum and the majority of Valencian parents want Valencian for their children.

Mazón has left office in a manner befitting his presidency: with the cynicism of presenting himself as a tearful lamb, the victim of evil men, a liar claiming ignorance, the victor of a policy of resistance against separatism—him.

Good morning.
