Teresa Ribera decided on the vigilance of the barranco del Poyo to a private company that offered 21%.

In comparison, documentation documents are formalized for entry into the department according to periodic regulations. Teresa Ribera and a bidder submitting a bid at a 21% discount to the estimated contract value.

La Union Temporal de Empresas (UTE) Matinsa-Ofiteco From 2026, use los Systemas Automáticos de la gestion for Hidrológica Información Hidrológica (SAIH).

El Nazirio de Ribera intended Budget for the proposal in the amount of €10,732,351.29.

Sin embargo, according to the announcement of the formalization of the contract dated November 9 last year, this proposal was chosen with difficulty. 8,063 million “basic relación calidad-precio”.

The minister showed himself, last Wednesday in Congress“defensora del sektor publico” y de los professionals de la CHJ en su work durante el día de la riada. Calificó de “injusto y peligroso” poner en duda la work de sus trabajadores y agradeció a los “servidores públicos” Stay in touch with daily related information la DANA kills more than 220 people.

Sin embargo, according to the sources of the Generalitat, CHJ's human resources policy has been “negative”. en los ultimos años. Las jubilaciones “received no relief” and las oposicións, la CHJ siempre ha sido “la Confederación que ha recibido menos plazas”.

Además, la privatización de este servicio essencial, allegan estas fuentes, se activó por la “Lack of specialized and experienced personnel in CHJ” in these types of functions. All this despite CHJ's annual budget of more than 58 million euros. 15.8 million (30%) is intended for personal expenses.

Privatization of these services at such a huge loss contradicts the main objective of SAIH, “water resources management” and above all “water resources management”. previsión y control de avenidas in coordination with civil protection agencies of various autonomous communities and the state”.

contradictions

Defensive tampoco with Ribera, who appeared before las Cortes last Wednesday, despite appearances. His speeches in Congress and the Senate, más allá de dejar guilt answering las preguntas claveturned around the defenselos servicios publicos de calidadque son esenciales para cuando necessitamos protección”.

En todo el recorido del Barranco del Poyo has a solo medidor de caudalLocated in the municipality of Ribarroja, Chiva passed the middle of his course from birth. Well, well sus metros sobre el nivel del mar, 1,023 meters sobre el nivel del mar or last 100.

In any case, “the dispositivo dispositivo del único dispositivo del que si una crecida es decir” of the System of Hydrológica Información Automático (SAIH) – “hay muy poco tiempo para la reacción”.

These are also the words of the government's third vice president in Congress last Wednesday.

“No vivimos en un estado failido, sino en un Estado derecho, public services and protective functions“, he added. “We must respect, value and strengthen them, because knowledge, science and trust in institutions nuestros mejores aliados frente al riesgo“.

Three reasons

However, barranco del Poyo has a medidor it has no function. First, because the flood took off just before 9:00 p.m., when the water reached Ribarroja at a speed of almost 2000 m3/s, Cuatro veces el caudal del Ebro.

Second, because the location of the unique device, at the beginning of the flood slope before the flat area already opened in the Albufera, is the real reason why Ribera could justify it. “informative blackout” Between 16:13 and 18:43. Most importantly, the media, la crecida multiplied casi por 100 of agua que bajaba por el Poyo, but CHJ no emitíó un solo correo sobre el caudal.

Argumentary can be vice president que, en situations “La capacidad de reacción es muy poca”. Y que, por eso, las alerts deben atenderse son las de rain torrentencial que emite la AEMET, que sí mandó nueve emails… neither the representative in CECOPI nor the president of the CHJ attends the emergency meeting, atendieron tampoco esos avisos.

A third reason confirming that the unique SAIH of Barranco del Poyo does not match the service contracted a year ago, Not compatible with “privatization” technology in CHJ. Confederation Leave 15 warnings for the escrito of the protocol en esos largos minutos clave de incomunicación.

“Focus on information.” quien debe responder no sabe cómo hacerlo“, insisted the minister responsible for CHJ and AEMET.

However there is no that information. there was un solo meter. The geographic location of this automatic system was not appropriate prevenir una gran avenida (y menos una “con periodos de retorno de entre 5,000 y 10,000 años”, como admittedió la todavía vicecenta del Gobierno). Finally, SAIH, además, se rompió.

Teresa Ribera is mandatory for Las Cortes, this is a prerequisite para que el PP Europeo le levantar el veto en el Parlamento Europeo Nomination a la Comisión. On October 29, the question of accountability regarding the Transición Ecológica of the Ministry of Ecology and Natural Resources provoked by DANA.

Early warning

Sin embargo, in his intervention before the Lower House, he himself admitted that there are possibilities Reasons for recent privatization Vigilance in the Jujar Confederacy.

Ribera acknowledged that in 2011 he signed an Environmental Impact Statement of “priority work” for the “adaptation and drainage” of the Poyo barranco. Actua que desechó of 2021or vice president. Y defense “Minimum intervention” policy.

However, big inundaciones es contar con before declaring “lo más importante”. “Sistema de Alerta Temprana [SAT]que es lo único que salva vidas”.

21% electida de contrato de exploitation, operación y maintenance de los SAIH de la CHJ contemplaban dotar del SAT a ninguna de las demarcaciones.

This newspaper contacted the Confederacy to find out the motivations for these systems, more modern las estaciones del SAIH, que 1989no fueran recogidos en el pliego de la ultima renovacion del contrato. According to the spokesperson, la CHJ “trabaja desde hace tiempo” en ellosabedora de que “Allow hydrology in different episodios, proceed in sequence”.

In any case, you can use the Ministry Call 22.5 million euros including the SAT”Emergency situation On October 29, repair works were carried out at SAIH in DANA. Miguel Polo.

According to the sources we consulted, en las cuencas mediterráneas “complete result” Installation of SAT, “dada la speede de respuesta hydrologica de sus cauces y barrancos”.

Otras confederaciones, como la del Ebro, is the dispensator of the Alerta Temprana System. Fuentes de la Generalitat se preguntan ahora por qué la CHJ no disponía de este SAT y lamentan que haya sido Only after the tragedy Let the Minister wait in Valencia and set aside a budget for this technology to “save their lives”.
