The day floods returned for Valencia's revenge

The morning began with mass evacuations in Málaga as a new DANA storm approached, forcing 3,000 residents from their homes. While meteorological services issued red alerts, political theater continued in Madrid, where Begoña Gómez refused to testify before the regional assembly, citing political persecution.

By midday, the storm paralyzed Málaga's infrastructure, suspending high-speed rail connections with Madrid and flooding the Clinical Hospital. A tornado struck Mijas Costa, destroying a gas station. The government announced a state funeral for previous DANA victims, acknowledging some bodies might take months to recover.

Evening brought Valencia back into crisis as AEMET issued red alerts for torrential rains of up to 180 liters per square meter. The Generalitat ordered school closures and mobility restrictions, while Mazón's parliamentary appearance was postponed. The PP European delegation meanwhile conditioned Ribera's confirmation on her appearing before Congress.
