Colegio de Abogados de Alicante

The Colegio de Abogados de Alicante (Alicante Bar Association) is a professional organization representing lawyers in the Alicante province of Spain. While the articles don't explicitly detail the organization's general functions, they highlight its involvement in a specific legal matter. The Alicante Bar Association is newsworthy because its president, Ignacio Gally, is representing Carlos Mazón, the former president of the Generalitat Valenciana, in a case investigating the management of the DANA (isolated high-altitude depression) event of October 2024. Mazón has requested to be formally included in the investigation and granted access to all related documentation. The judge has denied Mazón access to the entire case file. Gally, in his capacity as Mazón's legal representative, submitted the request to the court. This case is significant due to the high number of fatalities (230) resulting from the DANA event and the public interest in ensuring proper management of such disasters.
