PP leader Alberto Núñez Feijóo will send Judge Nuria Ruiz Tobarra the WhatsApp messages he sent to Carlos Mazón on October 29, 2024, following her request in the DANA floods investigation. He is set to testify via videoconference on January 9, 2026.
Following his December 24, 2025, submission of WhatsApp messages received from Carlos Mazón on the day of the DANA floods—which killed 230 in Valencia—PP leader Alberto Núñez Feijóo confirmed he will also provide his own sent messages to Judge Nuria Ruiz Tobarra of Catarroja's Investigative Court. The judge's order, issued December 29, 2025, explicitly requested them to probe management of the tragedy.
The exchanges occurred between 20:08 and 23:29, after Mazón's lunch at El Ventorro restaurant. In a Servimedia interview that day, Feijóo affirmed his ongoing collaboration: "If the judge wants to know the messages to understand what was happening in Valencia that night, have no doubt that... I will continue to do so." He plans to deliver them via notarial act, showing his phone for transcription, and will testify as a witness on January 9, 2026, at 9:30 via Webex from Congress—or in person if preferred.
Feijóo called the request "surprising," noting his distance from events and lack of similar demands to central government figures. PP deputy Rafael Hernando criticized on X: "What Judge Tobarra is doing is unprecedented... but asks nothing of the president of the government or the ministers responsible." The probe stems from the Association of DANA 29-O Fatal Victims, examining Mazón's communications amid allegations of irregularities. Feijóo denies deleting messages.
