It should be remembered that it wasn't Carlos Maz\u00f3n who <a href=\"https:\/\/alicanteplaza.es\/la-depuradora-de-algoros-en-elche-sigue-adelante-los-pluviales-de-la-chj-en-santa-pola-punto-muerto\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">refused to build stormwater tanks<\/a> that would have mitigated the consequences of that disaster. Nor was he the one who <a href=\"https:\/\/www.outono.net\/elentir\/2024\/11\/02\/pedro-sanchez-took-4-days-to-order-a-large-military-deployment-and-justified-it-by-lying\/\">delayed the deployment of the Army for four days<\/a>, in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.outono.net\/elentir\/2024\/11\/02\/the-article-195-of-the-penal-code-and-the-govts-delay-in-sending-the-army-to-valencia\/\">a clear crime of omission of the duty to provide assistance<\/a>, while the residents of the affected areas were without electricity or running water, completely abandoned by the State.<\/p>\n<p>It was someone else who <a href=\"https:\/\/www.outono.net\/elentir\/2024\/11\/03\/the-anger-of-the-people-of-paiporta-the-courage-of-king-felipe-vi-and-the-cowardice-of-sanchez\/\">fled from the anger of the residents of Paiporta<\/a> on November 3, 2024, leaving the King and Maz\u00f3n to face them. Nor was it the Valencian president who <a href=\"https:\/\/www.outono.net\/elentir\/2025\/01\/14\/pedro-sanchezs-vile-deception-of-those-affected-by-the-valencia-catastrophe\/\">deceived those affected by the floods by saying that he had already requested aid from the European Solidarity Fund<\/a> on November 5, only to ultimately <a href=\"https:\/\/www.europapress.es\/economia\/macroeconomia-00338\/noticia-espana-solicita-fondo-europeo-solidaridad-financiar-4404-millones-gastos-dana-20250120183637.html\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">request it two and a half months later<\/a> and one day before the deadline.<\/p>\n<p><strong>All of this was done by Pedro S\u00e1nchez's government.<\/strong> He is ultimately responsible for exacerbating the consequences of the floods, a disaster for which <strong>he refused to take command of the situation despite it affecting several regions<\/strong> and the fact that the National Security Law empowered him to do so.

Instead, <strong>S\u00e1nchez focuses his efforts on creating false narratives in which he is never to blame for anything<\/strong>, as if he were a mere spectator instead of being the president of the government of Spain.<\/p>\n<p>If Maz\u00f3n has resigned today, it is due to the pressure of <strong>a blatant campaign by the left to absolve the government of all responsibility for the catastrophe<\/strong>, a campaign similar to the one we already experienced with the aforementioned blackout, with the terrible effects of the government's delayed response to the 2020 pandemic, or with the railway chaos that Spain is suffering under the leadership of the socialist \u00d3scar Puente, Minister of Transport. <strong>The People's Party has faltered once again and sacrificed Maz\u00f3n, offering him to the left as a scapegoat<\/strong>, in the mistaken belief that this will serve to create a firewall between this leftist campaign and the PP.<\/p>\n<p>On the contrary, <strong>all Feij\u00f3o has managed to do is fuel the left's campaign, emboldened by the PP's weakness<\/strong> \u2014 a party that constantly proves itself unfit at a time when <strong>Spain needs a strong opposition against an unscrupulous government.<\/strong> The PP's national leadership has demonstrated today its lack of such strength and its willingness <strong>to sacrifice any member of its party whose head is demanded by a cynical left that shirks all responsibility<\/strong> for its mistakes, incompetence, and negligence. Like hyenas, <strong>the left senses weakness, and today the PP has only served to encourage it to continue its hunt against the party<\/strong>. This blunder leaves Feij\u00f3o particularly damaged by his pusillanimous attitude toward the worst government Spain has had to endure in a long time.<\/p>\n<p>---<\/p>\n<p><small>Photo: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.lamoncloa.gob.es\/multimedia\/galeriasfotograficas\/presidente\/Paginas\/2022\/101022-sanchez-feijoo.aspx\" rel=\"noreferrer nofollow\">La Moncloa<\/a>.
