In a significant legal development, the Association of Victims of the Storm has formally requested the Tribunal Superior de Justicia (TSJ) in Valencia to disregard the parliamentary privilege that former president Carlos Mazón enjoys as a member of the Cortes Valencianas. The association claims that privilege constitutes a 'fraud of law,' violating principles of constitutional equality, the right to effective judicial protection, and the right to a predetermined natural judge. This plea comes as part of an ongoing political and legal battle linked to the storm event that occurred on October 29, 2024.

The popular accusation led by this victims' association contends that it is 'inescapable' for Mazón to testify as a defendant, further supporting the motion submitted by the investigating judge in this matter. The association seeks to have the case handled in the lower court of Catarroja where it believes there is a greater opportunity for impartial investigation free from the influences that may be present at the higher court level.

This plea reflects a broader concern regarding the accessibility of justice and the impact of political ties on legal proceedings. By advocating for the dismissal of parliamentary privilege for Mazón, the victims hope to ensure that accountability prevails, emphasizing that the principles of due process and equal treatment under the law must be upheld, particularly in cases involving public figures.
