The Valencia Prosecutor's Office has called for a unified investigation into the handling of the deadly DANA storm on October 29, which claimed 223 lives and left thousands affected.
Seven complaints and lawsuits have been filed, primarily targeting Carlos Mazón, President of the Generalitat Valenciana, and former Interior Minister Salomé Pradas.
Allegations include negligence, manslaughter, and failure to act on weather warnings.
Critics argue that timely decisions could have mitigated the disaster's impact.
The prosecution supports starting the investigation in a lower court, escalating to the High Court only if evidence implicates Mazón or other high-ranking officials.
The case highlights questions of accountability in disaster management.
