The mobilization, which began at 6:00 PM, brought together various social groups, victim associations, and the general public. Participants once again took to the streets with the slogan “Mazón to prison” and demanded that the former leader resign his parliamentary seat.
Social movements, which have organized monthly concentrations since the catastrophe, consider the former leader to be primarily responsible for the deaths due to his “negligence.” They criticize him for not having appeared before the judge after the tragedy and for maintaining his parliamentary seat with the associated privileges.
“"The concentration is a way to reclaim memory, dignity, and the right to justice."
The call for protest is supported by over 200 civic, social, and trade union entities, as well as victim associations, local emergency and reconstruction committees, and the Valencian Social Agreement. This time, the participation of groups such as 7291 Verdad y Justicia, linked to victims in Madrid residences, and Amama Sevilla, an association for women with breast cancer, is also expected.
Regarding the judicial process, the magistrate of the Catarroja court has summoned the former leader to testify as a witness. This decision comes after the High Court of Justice of the Valencian Community ruled out investigating him, considering that he did not hold a position of “guarantor” and that there was insufficient evidence of a crime.
