The DANA Victims Association October 29, 2024 will send a motion to all city councils to demand the deputy's act from the former president of the Generalitat and call for active protection policies against future emergencies.

This decision was agreed upon in a local assembly held at the Benetússer City Council, attended by nearly a hundred members and collaborators. One of the key points of the meeting was the need to strengthen mobilizations through a network of alliances and promote new actions.

"We observe with concern that no real change is occurring in public policies after what happened on October 29. We do not see a deep review of emergency systems, nor serious planning for adaptation to extreme phenomena, nor structural measures that guarantee this will not happen again."

Furthermore, the association will study the situation of rental aid linked to the DANA for the year 2026 and will organize a new meeting focused on the territory and the taxation of aid in income tax declarations.
The Benetússer meeting is part of a cycle of local assemblies that the association has initiated to conduct a collective assessment prior to the annual assembly. The objective is to create spaces for active listening, analysis, and debate to jointly prepare and design the lines of action and upcoming activities of the association.
The cycle of local assemblies will continue soon in municipalities such as Catarroja, Massanassa, or Paiporta, strengthening local implementation as a key tool to decide the strategy and collective work project, with the aim of truth, justice, memory, and security for the future, with the will that such negligent management of an emergency will not be repeated.
