Muskiz's PNV has denounced the mayor's "partial and biased" account on the day of the Benzene spill

The PNV of Muskiz has strongly criticized the management of Mayor Eduardo Briones (PSE-EE) after registering high levels of benzene at the Petronor plant on February 26, and has denounced that the video released days later by the City Council offers a "partial and biased account, ignoring important facts and the participation of other municipal representatives."

For jeltzale training, "in the face of an incident that directly affects public health and public safety, the priority of any institution must be transparency, concreteness and coordination, and not the subsequent construction of political accounts, as is the case".

In a statement, he stated that "on the afternoon of 26 February there was information on high levels of benzene, as the mayor himself has acknowledged". However, it has criticised the fact that the subsequent account 'presents the situation as if the City Council had only known the gravity of the incident at 8.29 p.m., when the Basque Government transferred the preventive measures, and this version does not reflect what happened'.

The PNV recalls that when its representatives went to the City Council, after learning of the health recommendations, they were not informed of the existence of an alleged "crisis table" and that in the early hours there were "moments of tension and confusion while awaiting up-to-date information from the health authorities".

For the PNV, what happened on 26 February requires "a great deal of institutional clarity: to know what information was in the afternoon, when it was transmitted to the City Council and what decisions were taken at every moment".
