This decision by the magistrate follows a request from the PSPV, which is acting as a popular prosecution in the case. The socialists deem it crucial to clarify the former official's movements during the torrential rain episode, particularly the midday trips to and from Carlet.
Concurrently, the investigating judge has also approved new proceedings related to the Chiva fire station, located at the head of the Torrent ravine. The association Mai Més, also involved as a popular prosecution, had requested the testimony of four firefighters from this station, which had already flooded before 6:00 PM on the day of the events.
The duty corporal of the Chiva firefighters had already warned the Valencia Fire Consortium that the station, on the day of the events, 'was flooding at 17:50'.
This information comes from a prior report, highlighting the early flooding of the Chiva fire station's facilities, a fact that could be relevant to the ongoing investigation.
