This professional, who previously testified on March 30, had sent a WhatsApp message to Pradas, in which he told her to be "calm" and stated that both of them had acted "as far as they were allowed," feeling that their "wings had been clipped" during the events of October 29, 2024.
For me, you did as much as you could, as far as they let you, because in the end, both you and us, we had our superiors above us, and among them, one of our superiors was you, and you have your superiors above you who, in the end, if they keep clipping your wings, well, just like they clipped the wings of the forest firefighters from the consortium.
The content of this message was incorporated into the judicial proceedings and led several accusations, including the Associació de Víctimes Mortals DANA 29-O and Acció Cultural del País Valencià (ACPV), to request a new summons for the firefighter.
In his initial statement, the head of the Alzira unit, based in Carcaixent, indicated that the Riu Sec was already overflowing at 12:45 PM on October 29 at the Carlet bridge. He also provided a detailed report of the actions taken that day, prepared fifteen days after the flood.
According to the report, the Consortium initially activated them for water pumping in Alzira around 11:30 AM, but they were sent back to base. Later, at 12:45 PM, they were mobilized to check the water level at the Carlet bridge, clarifying that their task was to monitor the Riu Sec and not the Magro.
In addition to this witness's new summons, the court has scheduled eight additional appearances for May, including zone chiefs, forest firefighters, the regional chief, an agent from Sot de Chera, the former mayor of Chiva, Amparo Fort, and the director of the Lloc del Mayor de Picanya day center.
