Let us remember that two weeks ago <a href=\"https:\/\/www.outono.net\/elentir\/2026\/03\/17\/political-responsibility-for-the-adamuz-tragedy-is-confirmed-and-oscar-puente-is-distracted\/\/\">political responsibility for that tragedy was confirmed<\/a>, caused by tracks in poor condition amidst railway chaos generated by the terrible management of the <strong>Pedro S\u00e1nchez<\/strong> government and, specifically, of the Minister of Transport <strong>\u00d3scar Puente<\/strong>. Neither of them has resigned yet.<\/p>\n<p>Yesterday, the newspaper El Debate reported that <strong>the J\u00facar River Basin Authority (CHJ), which is part of the government<\/strong>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.eldebate.com\/espana\/comunidad-valenciana\/20260330\/chj-reconoce-ahora-obras-pendientes-poyo-habrian-evitado-parte-tragedia-dana-valencia_401813.html\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">now acknowledges that the pending works in the Poyo area would have partially prevented the Valencia flood tragedy<\/a>, a disaster that resulted in <strong>229 deaths<\/strong> in that region. In a meeting between the Valencian Community and the central government, with notable absences from the latter, <strong>a representative of the CHJ acknowledged that \"the pending works could indeed have partially prevented\" the Valencia DANA tragedy.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Let us remember that <strong>one month before the catastrophe<\/strong>, which occurred at the end of October 2024, <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\">the CHJ refused to build storm tanks on the Elche-Santa Pola road<\/a>, which would have greatly mitigated the effects of the floods.<\/p>\n<p>On the first anniversary of the tragedy last October, we learned that <a href=\"https:\/\/www.vozpopuli.com\/espana\/comunidad-valenciana\/valencia-abandonada-el-gobierno-no-ejecuta-en-doce-meses-ninguna-obra-de-prevencion-de-riadas.html\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">the government has not carried out any flood prevention work, and does not plan to start any until at least 2027<\/a>, <strong>that is, when three years will have passed since the Valencia catastrophe<\/strong> and when the time comes to call new general elections, which S\u00e1nchez currently has a high probability of losing for the second time in a row.<\/p>\n<p><strong>These events are scandalous, as is the attitude of impunity and arrogance of this government<\/strong>, which not only avoids assuming any political responsibility for the deaths caused by its terrible management, but also <strong>intends to distract attention from its internal scandals by causing fires in our foreign relations<\/strong>, especially with the United States and Israel, regardless of the consequences this may have for our trade relations.<\/p>\n<p><strong>S\u00e1nchez knows that if he is ousted from power after the next elections, he has a high chance of ending up in prison<\/strong>, since he is the leader of a political party, the PSOE, besieged by serious corruption scandals. That is why <strong>he is relying on smokescreens to grab headlines and distract attention<\/strong> from serious matters such as the one published yesterday by El Debate.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The worst part is that this deceitful strategy of political manipulation is succeeding<\/strong>, not only because the media falls into the trap of letting the government direct their attention, but also because <strong>a left-wing electorate willing to forget any corruption scandal and the deaths in those tragedies as long as the right wing doesn't govern<\/strong>, an electorate that has been duped by a government that promotes a strategy of political polarization whose aim is, by all accounts, <strong>to prevent S\u00e1nchez from being harmed by his scandals and his serious negligence.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>---<\/p>\n<p><small>Photo: An image from Carlet (Valencia) shared by <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/pasalakua\/status\/1851350925371121824\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">@pasalakua<\/a>, showing vehicles that were swept away by a flash flood.\/small><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Spain is a country where those responsible for major disasters with many deaths continue to refuse to take any responsibility.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"inline_featured_image":false,"footnotes":"","_links_to":"","_links_to_target":""},"categories":[10398],"tags":[22967,23067,693,2721,11862],"class_list":["post-64250","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-spain","tag-cold-drop-disaster-in-spain-in-october-2024","tag-confederacion-hidrografica-del-jucar-chj","tag-psoe","tag-pedro-sanchez-castejon","tag-valencian-community"],"publishpress_future_action":{"enabled":false,"date":"2026-08-12 02:26:47","action":"change-status","newStatus":"draft","terms":[],"taxonomy":"category","extraData":[]},"publishpress_future_workflow_manual_trigger":{"enabledWorkflows":[]},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.outono.net\/elentir\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/64250","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.outono.net\/elentir\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.outono.net\/elentir\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.outono.net\/elentir\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.outono.net\/elentir\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=64250"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.outono.net\/elentir\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/64250\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.outono.net\/elentir\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=64250"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.outono.net\/elentir\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=64250"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.outono.net\/elentir\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=64250"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
