The third vice president and minister for Ecological Transition and the Demographic Challenge, Teresa Riberahas assured that the afternoon of the DANA cost him “up to four calls” to locate the president of the Generalitat Valenciana, Carlos Mazón.
“It took me up to four calls to locate Mr. Mazón,” Ribera revealed in statements to the program Hora 25 on Cadena Ser, where he said that the Secretary of State warned him that “the situation was very critical”. and immediately tried to talk to Mazón.
“He told me something like it was going well, but this afternoon everything has been rushed. Excuse me, I’ll call you in 10 minutes, now I can’t talk and logically he didn’t call me back,” said the vice president.
Ribera has assured that they had all the information and that she is concerned about the extent of “such a serious alert, someone may consider it not relevant or that it can wait.”
“I believe that this shows that we have to think about how best to reinforce, but we also have to think about the damage caused by those who try to discredit these institutions that have such an important mission”, he added.
He defended the functioning of the autonomous State and wondered that the question “is not whether the autonomous State works or not”.but “whether Mazón works or not or whether Feijóo agrees or disagrees with what Mazón does”.
Ribera has defended the work of her ministry, of the State Meteorological Agency and the geographic confederations.
