In a significant reshuffle following the devastating DANA storm, Carlos Mazón, the President of the Valencian Community, has appointed Marian Cano as the new Minister of Industry.

Cano, who is the current president of the Valencian Association of Footwear Entrepreneurs, replaces Nuria Montes, who faced criticism for her handling of the crisis.

Montes was criticized for her lack of empathy towards the victims, leading to her dismissal.

Cano's appointment is part of a broader strategy to revitalize the industrial sector, which suffered damages estimated at 10 billion euros due to the storm.

Cano, with a strong background in the footwear industry, is expected to lead efforts in rebuilding and strengthening the sector.

This move is seen as a step towards restoring confidence in the regional government, which has been under scrutiny for its crisis management.
