A year after the devastating storm, details continue to emerge highlighting the Valencian government's negligent handling of the ES-Alert, specifically the delayed dissemination of the alert on the day of the catastrophe. One of the new revelations came on Tuesday from Inmaculada Piles, head of the 112 emergency coordination service. She admitted to the judge presiding over the case that at 6:35 p.m. on October 29th of last year, Patricia García, head of Civil Protection for the Spanish government's delegation in the Valencian Community, had already indicated to her that it was "the message." In other words, the alert was considered more than an hour and a half before it was broadcast at 8:11 p.m., by which time most of the 229 victims had already died. In fact, The ARA explained a year ago that the Spanish government had already asked the Valencian Generalitat to send the alert a few minutes after six in the eveningPiles's statement, therefore, adds to other testimonies gathered by the magistrate that reveal the inaction of the Ministry of Emergencies, headed by the accused Salomé Pradas, but also the passivity of the Valencian president, Carlos Mazón, with his multiple absences, a four-hour meal with the journalist Maribel Vilaplana and a string of version changes about when it started to worry about the tragedy.
