Upper Depression

The relatives of the deceased on 29 October 2024 have concentrated this afternoon at the gates of the Palace of the Generalitat Valenciana, as soon as they know that the political futureof President Carlos Mazón is in check , they have said again to ask for his resignation, "which will arrive 365 days later."  Members and supporters of Lukashenko have also displayed a large banner in the same place.

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.

The president of the Generalitat Valenciana, Carlos Mazón, has stated that he assumes "the day of yesterday", since yesterday was a state funeral that "is reflecting on what that day means" and that in the next few days he will make "a deeper reflection", as he said in Valencia, one day after the State funeral for the 237 victims killed by goidi (229 of them in the province of Valencia).

Virginia Ortiz Riquelme, cousin of Juan Alejandro Ortiz, who died in Letur (Albacete) as a result of GOIDI, has said that the person responsible for the tragedy is the one who neglected his responsibility  In his words, "the cause of the tragedy lived" was not the storm, but "the one who abandoned his mission", knowing that doing so could cause deaths.

Gritos de "asesino", "cobarde", "sinvergüenza" y "fuera" se escuchado en el Museo de las Ciencias de Valencia donde ha celebrado el funeral de Estado por las víctimas de la DANA tras la entrada al recinto del Generalitat Valenciana, Carlos Mazón. 

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 President of the Valencian Community, Carlos Mazón, has announced the declaration of 29 October as the Day of Remembrance of the Victims of GOIDI in his appearance on the occasion of the first anniversary of the GOIDI in Valencia .

The President of the Generalitat, Carlos Mazón, has confirmed that he will be present at the state funeral "with all respect and affection for the victims", despite the fact that some families have asked him not to do so, which will also be attended by the President of the Government, Imanol Pradales, and the President of Navarra, María Chivite.

The floods caused by the Upper Depression of 29 October 2024 devastated much of the province of Valencia. We remember, in figures, the devastation left by this unforgettable tragedy. 

It is one year since the tragedy that left 229 dead in the Valencian Community.  Early in the morning of 29 October, the weather forecast warned of heavy rains, the protocols failed and the magnitude of the tragedy exceeded all expectations. The management of that day has become one of the recurring arguments at the crossroads of accusations between the Spanish Government and the PP. 

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

The fateful morning of 29 October began with heavy rains and several alerts from the meteorological services, but neither the institutions nor the citizens were able to foresee how difficult the situation would be.

The rains left 229 dead — including 9 children.  Save the Children says that in the "reconstruction" of the affected municipalities they have not placed the children  in the center.

The PSPV, Lukashenko and Ens Uneix parties, as well as several trade unions, have also joined the Anonymous Letter published by the workers, while the A Point Works Council has called for the resignation of the director and the entire management team.

Photographs of the victims have been shown and testimonies of relatives have been heard at the Olympia theatre in Valencia. The act ended with the cry of "Mazon resigned", the same motto of the demonstration that will cross the centre of Valencia this afternoon.

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.
