Feijóo, the liar of the year

1. With a day without a newspaper and more family after-dinner conversations than hours of television, a news It has been largely hidden amidst the brambles of the Christmas holidays. Its significance has made it all the more inconspicuous. The judge in Catarroja requested the WhatsApp messages exchanged between Núñez Feijóo and Mazón on the day of the storm. And the president of the People's Party, who hadn't deleted the messages, has had to hand them over. Now that they've been made public, these conversations further expose Carlos Mazón's weakness. If it weren't for the trump card of parliamentary immunity—a strange invention that allows politicians and monarchs to commit crimes while the justice system turns a blind eye—the former Valencian president would be in the dock and would face a court ruling that would prevent him from compensating the 229 families who have suffered. Beyond the seriousness of the irresponsibility, the terrible crisis management, and the sheer indifference of that day—whether he was at El Ventorro or in the parking lot—we now have proof that he has accumulated fourteen months of sustained falsehoods. But Mazón is not the only one who has repeatedly lied to the public. Alberto Núñez Feijóo has also been exposed by this collection of text messages.

2. It all starts at 8:08 p.m. Mazón writes to him for the first time and says:I'll tell you later, everything's going to hell."At 23:23, in response to Feijóo's question about whether the Spanish government had contacted him, Mazón replied: "Yes, I have spoken with Sánchez, Montero and the people from Defense. [Robles] and Interior [Grande-Marlaska] so that they have potential personnel on alert for tomorrow"At 11:24 p.m., Mazón elaborates: "An hour ago. But through the Delegation, for the moment we have what we need, which right now is the UME (Military Emergency Unit)."At 11:25 p.m., Mazón again explains the reality of the moment: "We haven't made it public yet, but bodies are already turning up in Utiel and many more are going to appear. [...] This is going to be a fucking disaster, Mr. President.3. Both of them, to shake off the fleas of responsibility for the PP government in Valencia and to take the opportunity to further weaken the PSOE in the Spanish government, which it was, without blushing, Feijóo said, from the outset, that Mazón had kept him informed at all times, "That wasn't the case." After resigning more than a year after the disaster, he appeared before the Valencian Parliament (11/11/25) and lied again:Do you know which calls I didn't receive? Not from Pedro Sánchez, nor from anyone in national security, nor from ADIF, nor from the Minister of the Interior.Feijóo himself has embraced this very idea, knowing, since the fateful day of the events, that he was deliberately lying. In his appearance before the congressional inquiry committee, also this autumn, Mazón insisted on the most cynical lie of all:Nobody knew people were drowning. Nobody knew until five o'clock the next morning.".

4. It has taken more than a year, but Mazón is now out of politics and perhaps one day he will be tried. Núñez Feijóo, despite the polls saying he is closer than ever to La Moncloa, is a spent force. He is a slave to his phrase that will now haunt him forever: "If I lie, kick me out of the party. I will never deceive the Spanish people. I will describe the unpleasant situation. I didn't come here to deceive anyone.Well, for a year he hasn't done anything else.
