Overview
- Susana Camarero told Judge Nuria Ruiz Tobarra that she spoke with then‑president Carlos Mazón only in the morning when he asked consellers to be “pendientes” and that she had no contact with him that afternoon.
- She said she joined the regional emergency coordination body Cecopi briefly and left around 17:40 to attend an awards event, leaving her secretary autonómico to follow the situation.
- Camarero testified that her department sent a pre‑approved rainfall‑risk protocol at 9:52 but it did not reach the Paiporta residence because there was no contact email and staff told her it was not raining there.
- The judge asked Camarero to consider voluntarily producing her WhatsApp messages from 29 October and Camarero replied she would “consultar y pensar” before deciding to hand them over.
- Victims’ associations protested at the court and demanded Camarero’s formal imputation, and investigators say the messages could clarify who gave orders and whether protocols reached vulnerable care centres after the storm that killed many in Valencia province.
