The Popular Party has announced plans to invite all victim associations to participate in the investigation committee focused on the recent flooding that affected the region. President Carlos Mazón confirmed that they aim to move away from closed lists that could exclude certain groups. This decision arises from concerns raised by several associations who reported feeling sidelined and voicing their desire for inclusion.

Mazón has reached out to the primary victim associations to discuss their involvement in the investigation. He committed to respecting the wishes of those who wish to participate in the committee’s proceedings. The committee’s structure allows for the addition of new witnesses without necessitating a full amendment of the work plan, keeping it accessible for all victims.

The work plan previously proposed included testimonies from various officials, including the Prime Minister and other key government figures. Victim associations have expressed dissatisfaction with their lack of inclusion in discussions thus far, hoping the upcoming sessions will grant them the opportunity to share their experiences.

With deadlines set for document submissions and potential new witness inquiries, the committee aims to ensure that voices from all affected parties will contribute to a comprehensive understanding of the flooding crisis. Victim associations await updates on their participation status with cautious optimism.
