Natural disasters

The president of the GOIDIA Victims' Association, Rosa Álvarez, has lamented the lack of legal validity for the Congressional Commission of Inquiry to convict and, although she has described it as a "social victory," she has stressed that there is still an important step: sending Mazon to prison.

The victims of GOIDI have once again taken to the streets, beyond the resignations, to demand justice. They believe that the resignation of Carlos Mazón comes late and badly. They also condemn the fact that the president's appearance focused on material damage, and that he declared himself a victim of criminalization.

The People's Leader will not renounce the Act of Deputies and will continue to be eligible. He has not announced any electoral advance and the deadline for electing his replacement will be opened on Monday, once he has formally resigned. The groups will have until 19 November to present their candidates. 

Hurricane 'Melissa' has destroyed the island of Jamaica, with at least 28 dead. Jamaican authorities have claimed that the hurricane has caused an "unprecedented" disaster.

In a speech to the National Executive Committee, Feijóo said that today "a member" of the party who has suffered "political and personal hunting" and who "is not a murderer" resigned. "He made mistakes, yes, he also apologized, and today he took them to the end," he said.

On 29 October 2024 , the President of the Valencian Community, Carlos Mazón, made an erroneous forecast. He tried to place all his responsibility on the Spanish Government and concealed what he had spent the black afternoon, often changing his version.

The leaders of the Valencian PP have elected the President of the Provincial Council to preside over the Generalitat in the face of the possible resignation of Carlos Mazón and as candidates for the next elections.

A year has passed and the political responsibilities have not yet been cleared up. No one yet knows what Carlos Mazón did in the decisive hour of that afternoon.

The inhabitants of the far east of Cuba were the first to notice the effects of Hurricane Melissa, which hit the ground when it was 03:10 local time (08:10 in the Basque Country), with sustained winds of 193 kilometres per hour, although then weakened.

On 29 October 2024, the ravages caused by an upper depression devastated much of the province of Valencia. GOIDI destroyed lives, houses, premises, bridges... in more than a hundred villages. Those affected exceed 300,000 and the economic damage to infrastructure is incalculable.

The plenary of Congress began with a minute's silence in memory of the victims, after which opposition leader Alberto Núñez Feijóo asked Pedro Sánchez on Thursday in the Senate about his "intention to tell the truth" in the committee of inquiry into the "Koldo case".

Hurricane Melissa has reached level 4 again, on a scale of 5, according to the latest report of the United States National Hurricane Center (NHC). With maximum winds of 215 km/h wind, the hurricane is located 175 km southwest of Guantánamo (Cuba) and is heading east of the island. Melissa crossed Jamaica as a category 5 hurricane with winds of more than 280 km/h and then weakened until it was reinforced on its way to Cuba.

Hurricane Melissa is approaching the west coast of Jamaica with 280 km/h of wind, torrential rains and strong waves, which authorities say is a "very dangerous hurricane" and fears could cause significant damage.

A year ago a GOIDI shook the Valencian Community.  Many families lost everything. Many families lost their members.

The inhabitants of Jamaica and Cuba are preparing to deal with the Melissa hurricane which, according to forecasts, will cause devastating winds and catastrophic floods on a direct route to the Caribbean island.

The isolated 'Alice' depression has caused flooding on the Mediterranean side of the Iberian peninsula, particularly in the Balearic Islands, particularly in Ibiza, where there have been floods following the heavy storm.

The goidi 'Alice' has left torrential rains and floods in many localities of the Mediterranean coast, especially in the Valencian Community, Murcia and the Balearic Islands. One of the most affected has been the Valencian Community, which has accumulated more than 110 litres per square metre in four hours at various points in Gandia (Valencia). The State Agency for Meteorology (Aemet) has activated the alert until Monday.

In 12 municipalities in Murcia, classes have been suspended and several roads and roads in the community have been cut off.

At least 75 people have been trapped and two are missing in the municipality of Guangfu after a natural lake overflowed as a result of the heavy rains caused by the Ragasa supertyphoon.
