• Spain. Ceased the general director of Emergencies of Murcia who went to the theater in full cold drop
  • Cost Damages exceed 190 million

Sunday, September 15, Murcia , Orihuela (Alicante) and the Vega Baja region are in crisis due to the terrible DANA that has devastated Spain. The Armed Forces carry out an unprecedented deployment whose priority is rescue work. Thousands of citizens cry while shrinking the water that has flooded their homes. And while DANA ravages the eastern half of Spain, the mayor of Cartagena (Murcia), Ana Belén Castejón , and her Councilor for Culture, David Martínez , went to Cabo de Palos to party.

According to La Verdad , Castejón spent Sunday morning celebrating a party with friends and family while towns such as Los Nietos, San Javier, Los Urrutias or La Manga suffered the devastating effects of the cold drop. It has been through a video published on social networks that has caused the outrage of dozens of citizens.

It shows the mayor in a cocktail bar, with other people all dressed in white , dancing to the rhythm of REM and enjoying the night of Cabo de Palos .

As Castejón has recognized La Verdad , he was only "an hour and a half" accompanying his Councilor for Culture, that night celebrated his birthday and his bachelor party . The mayor of the town of Murcia has explained that she did not even go to the previous dinner and that she only went for drinks with her councilor and some friends. "I can presume to have done my job and to have fulfilled my obligation and my responsibility," he assured the newspaper.

In fact, the mayor affirms that "she has evidence" that she was until after midnight on Saturday pending the ravages of DANA, that she was talking until that time with the Government delegate, Francisco Jiménez, and that she was " at street level "after two days" without sleep .

"I understand that now there are people who are more aware of these things, but what you need to ask a politician is to design performances and find a budget to solve the problems," he insisted La Verdad.

The party of Castejón and his councilor in the middle of the gout crisis has outraged many citizens. An outrage that adds to that caused by the former director general of Citizen Security and Emergencies, Pablo Ruiz Palacios, who like the mayor of Cartagena went to the Romea Theater on Friday the 13th at night when the cold drop hit with greater strength in Murcia .

The former political head of 112, under the Ministry of Transparency, Participation and Administration, directed by Beatriz Ballesteros, said that while following the work of the web was all the time "pending the phone and was always localizable." He went to the theater, in full flood of the Segura River, "in fulfillment of a family commitment" .

"I fell asleep from the fatigue I had, and when I finished the show I returned to the 112 headquarters with the counselor, who did not know that I had gone to the theater." Ruiz was dismissed this Tuesday.
