Mazón did not speak to Feijóo until 9:27 p.m. on the day of the DANA.

The Presidency does not provide the calls made in the morning, nor the missed calls or those not answered.

BarcelonaThe Valencian Government released this Wednesday the list of calls made by Carlos Mazón on the day of the DANA (Earthquake). This is a partial list because it does not include those made in the morning, nor the missed calls or those he did not answer on that fateful October 29th of last year. One of the new features in the documentation provided by the Presidency is that it expands the number of calls he made up to midnight; until now, Mazón had only detailed the calls made between 5:37 p.m., when he was having lunch at El Ventorro, and 7:44 p.m. However, it continues to hide those before 5:37 p.m.

In any case, the list reveals that the head of the Consell did not contact the president of the PP, Alberto Núñez Feijóo, until 9:27 p.m., when the situation was completely out of control and the catastrophe had already claimed the lives of 229 people. The seriousness of the situation is evident in the fact that the call between the two leaders was repeated just four minutes later, at 9:31 p.m. Feijóo, when he visited Valencia two days after the flood, claimed to have been in "real-time" contact with Mazón since the evening of October 28, but the PP later reversed itself and stated that they spoke on the evening of October 29, without specifying the time.

Mazón claims to have made 26 phone calls on October 29 between 5:37 p.m. and 11:29 p.m., according to the list that the Presidency has finally submitted to the Valencian Parliament's commission of inquiry. The first of the calls was to the Minister of Justice and the Interior, Salomé Pradas, with whom he spoke five more times throughout that afternoon. A list that does not come from a telephone bill, but from an enumeration made by the Presidency, and that does not include missed calls or those that the Valencian president rejected in those critical hours of the tragedy.

It is also striking that This list differs in part from the one presented by Mazón in Madrid at a conference in February, when he failed to include the calls he made after 8:00 p.m., such as those with Feijóo and especially with Pradas, at 8:10 p.m., just one minute before the ES-Alert was sent, from which the head of the council has distanced himself to avoid any criminal liability. A call he did not inform Mazón about at the time and which became known through the documentation provided by Pradas in court on the day he testified. The list includes six calls with Pradas between 5:00 p.m. and 8:11 p.m., but not the two calls he did not answer during that period and which she made public.

The opposition has attacked Mazón for the documentation provided this Wednesday. "It is an incomplete list, handwritten, and part of the farce of the president, incapable of maintaining a coherent version of what he did on October 29," denounced Socialist Party spokesman José Muñoz. Compromís spokesperson Joan Baldoví expressed the same opinion: "It's just a few calls, not the ones he made all day. Information is still being withheld, and it's arriving in dribs and drabs."

The opposition is demanding its geolocation.

The opposition is also demanding that Mazón detail his itinerary on October 29th, as it is only known that he used the official car from 8:00 a.m. until 2:00 a.m. on the 30th, but without specifying where he was at any given time. Therefore, the PSOE, Sumar, and the investiture partners have agreed on a work plan for the DANA investigation commission, which, among other information, plans to request data on Mazón's geolocation during the floods.

According to reports released Wednesday, they want to access the location of Mazón's "official and personal" cell phone on October 29th and 30th, 2024, as well as a copy of the "private and public" agenda with "specific times and places" where the Valencian president was on the day of the floods. The Congressional plan also includes appearances by Mazón himself, as well as by the leader of the People's Party (PP), Alberto Núñez Feijóo, by Spanish President Pedro Sánchez, and by several councilors, ministers, and victims of the attack, as well as by journalist Maribel Vilaplana, with whom he had lunch at El Ventorro until 6:30 p.m., an hour later.
