  • Four months have passed since the tragic rain caused 227 deaths and political tension in the management of the emergency.
  • There is a constant dispute over the action of the president of the Generalitat Valenciana, Carlos Mazón, and various institutions on the day of the tragedy.
  • Valencians show indignation at how the lack of institutional collaboration and the narrative war add uncertainty to an already difficult situation affecting 800,000 people.
  • Victims were not warned of the impending tragedy and the majority died before alerts were sent.
  • Contradictory versions around the whereabouts and actions of Mazón on the day of the tragedy continue to emerge and the opposition demands Mazón's resignation.
  • There is a lack of conclusive information and a continuous crossfire of accusations about the emergency management.

Conclusion: A significant part of Valencian politics is focused on maintaining a narrative war on the disaster of the 29th and not on addressing the urgent need for reconstruction. The only clarity is that there are too many uncertainties and it will fall to justice to order the events.
