The President of the Republic, Nicolás Maduro, during the delivery of means to strengthen the Bolivarian National Guard (GNB), the Bolivarian National Police Corps (CPNB), Firefighters and Civil Protection (PC), offered help to the Government of Spain in the face of the Isolated Depression at High Levels (DANA) that occurred in Valencia, and assured that Venezuela has the golden task force and experience in dealing with tragedies.
“In risk conditions, Venezuela has great experience that has been around the world, that has been in different scenarios and different continents. The images that one sees in the city of Valencia in Spain are distressing, a product of global warming, which the extreme right denies in the world; “They say that global warming and pollution are a lie, that capitalism has destroyed the ecological balance of the planet and that extreme phenomena are being generated in different parts,” he emphasized, reported VTV.
He recalled that in the year 2022 in the city of Tejerías in the state of Aragua and in the year 2023 in the city of Cumanacoa in the state of Sucre, Venezuela experienced these phenomena.
“That is why we have been perfecting the civil protection system, making it a scientific system, training CP professionals and Venezuela’s international task force at a university level,” emphasized the head of state.
Spain is suffering what the State Meteorological Agency described as a “historic” storm and “the most adverse of the century in the Valencian Community.” The natural disaster also affected regions in Castilla-La Mancha (center) and Andalusia (south).
The number of deaths from the floods in the Valencian Community, in eastern Spain, caused by DANA, exceeded two hundred people, reported the Integrated Operational Coordination Center (Cecopi) of the region.
