The investigation into the catastrophic floods in Valencia on October 29, which claimed 225 lives, has intensified.

Emilio Argüeso, the former Emergency Secretary, and Salomé Pradas, the ex-Interior Minister, are under scrutiny for their roles in the delayed emergency response.

The judge has criticized the lack of timely alerts despite early warnings of the disaster.

Calls to the 112 emergency line revealed desperate pleas from trapped residents, highlighting the administration's failure to act promptly.

Argüeso has expressed his willingness to testify, claiming he acted responsibly.

However, the judge insists the administration had sufficient information to issue earlier warnings, potentially saving lives.

The tragedy has sparked widespread outrage and legal action from affected families.
