Overview

  • Salomé Pradas, former emergency minister of the Generalitat Valenciana, has filed a detailed complaint with the CGPJ against Judge Nuria Ruiz Tobarra's conduct in the DANA flood negligence inquiry.
  • The complaint, signed by lawyer Eduardo de Urbano, highlights issues such as judicial resolutions lacking sufficient evidence, denied motions, and restrictions on defense rights.
  • Pradas’s defense also criticizes the use of unverified journalistic sources in judicial decisions and raises concerns about prolonged evidence-gathering processes.
  • Despite the complaint, the negligence investigation into the regional administration’s handling of the October 2024 DANA floods continues under Judge Ruiz Tobarra.
  • Pradas and her former secretary Emilio Argüeso remain the only individuals formally charged, while other officials, including Pilar Bernabé, have been excluded from the case.
