# Carlos Mazón testifies again over 2024 dana

22 September 2026 at 11:22

> Former Valencian president Carlos Mazón defends his actions before a congressional commission following the disaster that killed 232.

**Carlos Mazón**, former president of the **Generalitat Valenciana**, has appeared for a second time before a congressional commission investigating the October 2024 dana. The disaster caused 232 deaths, primarily in Valencia, leading to intense scrutiny of his role.

Mazón submitted a statement to the **Catarroja** judge denying he blocked Es-Alert transmissions. He claims no causal link exists between his actions and 42 deaths. Despite the TSJV discarding his responsibility, he faces a Supreme Court perjury investigation.

During the hearing, Mazón refused to answer questions from ERC's Gabriel Rufián on behalf of victims' families. He defended his conduct, noting he met with SOS Desaparecidos, while deputies from Sumar, PSOE, and Vox questioned his lunch with a journalist.
