In the wake of a devastating weather event in Valencia that claimed over 200 lives, scrutiny has fallen on the Generalitat's response.

Despite early warnings from the State Meteorological Agency (Aemet) about the impending severe weather, the Generalitat, led by President Carlos Mazón, failed to take timely preventive measures.

While other institutions, such as the University of Valencia, acted on the warnings by suspending classes, the Generalitat delayed its response, prioritizing tourism over safety.

This delay in action contrasts sharply with the swift measures taken during a subsequent weather alert, highlighting the critical importance of timely and decisive action in emergency management.

The incident underscores the need for improved coordination and responsiveness to meteorological warnings to prevent future tragedies.
