Carlos Mazón

Carlos Mazón is the former President of the Generalitat Valenciana. He is currently newsworthy due to his attempts to become a party to the ongoing investigation into the management of the DANA (a severe weather event) that occurred in October 2024, causing 230 fatalities. Mazón has appealed to the Audiencia de Valencia after a judge rejected his initial request to participate in the proceedings and access the case file. The investigation also involves Salomé Pradas, the former Minister of Interior, and José Manuel Cuenca, Mazón's former chief of staff, both of whom are under scrutiny. A film about the DANA is in development, with one actor declining to portray Mazón due to the sensitivity of the subject in Valencia. The current President of the Generalitat Valenciana is Juan Francisco Pérez Llorca.
