Arrest Made in Valencia Following Death Threats Against Regional President Carlos Mazón
A 29-year-old man faces legal proceedings after allegedly issuing violent threats through social media.
The National Police in Spain arrested a 29-year-old man in Valencia on March 26, who is accused of repeatedly sending threatening messages to the president of the Valencian Community, Carlos Mazón. According to police sources, these messages included explicit death threats directed at Mazón. Notable quotes from the threats included statements such as, 'We are going to take your life.
You are dead,' and 'We are going to shoot Mazón between the eyes.
Get used to it.' The threats were reportedly sent to Mazón's Instagram account and to the official account of the Youth Wing of the Popular Party (PP).
The suspect, identified as Albert C.F. and residing in Sedaví, a municipality affected by recent flooding, allegedly communicated these threats using a pseudonymous and anonymous account.
Following the arrest, he was made available to judicial authorities the following day.
This development comes amidst a challenging period for Mazón, who has faced considerable scrutiny regarding his handling of the recent flooding crisis, described as a DANA (DANA being an acronym for a type of severe weather that struck the region).
The disaster resulted in over 200 fatalities in Valencia last October, and Mazón is currently under investigation by the court in Catarroja for potential involuntary manslaughter related to his response to the crisis.
In light of these circumstances, the Valencia government alerted the National Police regarding similar threats directed at Mazón. The situation underscores escalating tensions and heightened political challenges for the Valencian president.
