Tribunal Superior de Justicia de la Comunitat Valenciana (TSJCV)

The Tribunal Superior de Justicia de la Comunitat Valenciana (TSJCV) is the highest court in the Valencian Community, Spain. It is currently newsworthy due to its involvement in the investigation of the devastating DANA (isolated high-altitude depression) event that occurred in October 2024. Specifically, the TSJCV recently overturned arguments that would have led to the indictment of Carlos Mazón, the then-president of the Generalitat (Valencian government), in relation to his handling of the disaster. Following this decision, the judge investigating the case has now summoned Mazón as a witness. Victims of the DANA are protesting, demanding justice and accountability, and expressing concern that Mazón might avoid prosecution due to his political position. The TSJCV's ruling is therefore central to the ongoing legal proceedings and public debate surrounding the DANA tragedy and the potential culpability of government officials.
