The death toll from the catastrophe that hit the Valencia region has reached 211. Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez announced the dispatch of 10,000 more soldiers and police officers to support rescue operations in the area, stressing the importance of unity in this difficult moment. The tragedy had its epicenter in the parking lot of a shopping center, characterized by extensive flooding. Divers are operating in the underground garage, described by some rescuers as a real “cemetery” due to the number of vehicles involved.

Controversy intensifies against the president of the region, Carlos Mazón. In addition to a video in which he downplayed the seriousness of the emergency, according to the newspaper El Pais, Mazón has remained on the sidelines, not officially declaring the catastrophe and therefore avoiding the responsibility of coordinating the necessary aid for the affected population. In the meantime, rescuers have carried out notable operations, such as the one that rescued a woman who had been trapped in her car for three days.

The situation is further complicated by the criticism leveled at the football league, accused of not stopping the championship despite the serious circumstances. The controversy is multiplying as the community mobilizes to deal with the consequences of this tragedy. The response of local and national authorities is under scrutiny, with growing calls for greater coordination and effective interventions to ensure the necessary support for citizens affected by the disaster.

In this dramatic context, solidarity between people is emerging as a key element to overcome the difficulties. Rescue teams continue to work tirelessly to provide assistance and recover the missing. The population is invited to join the efforts of mutual aid and support as they try to recover from one of the worst crises to hit the region in recent years. The focus now is on the future and reconstruction, with the hope that similar events will never happen again.
