The emotional testimony of a young man from Catarroja that has unleashed applause from the public

catarrh It is one of the last towns affected by DANA, furthest from Valencia. The route that many volunteers usually take begins far from this Valencian town. La Torre, Benetúser, Sedaví, Masanasa…until you reach Catarroja. And many volunteers already see that help is needed in these towns named above, which is why hardly anyone comes to this last district. Oscar, 23 year old young man and resident of Catarroja, has denounced the tragic situation in ‘Demos: the great survey’: they feel abandoned.

“It makes me angry. I have many friends who are homeless because of this flood and they had to leave to relatives from other houses, leaving with their things and their suitcases, by hand and walking throughout Valencia. All this, to reach their families and have electricity and gas”, Oscar said. After these words, he pointed out that He does not currently live with his family: “I am in the center in Catarroja helping. In Alfafar and Masanasa, even worse…”.

And he denounced the difficult conditions in which the neighbors of Massanassa: “There are three or four Red Cross points helping. Psychologists and everything. I’m even shaking of the anger that makes me feel that it has not been mentioned.

The young man’s testimony continued like this: “And do you know the good thing? That the people there we support each other among brothersas if we were neighbors. That is why I am here suffering, for not having been in my town, which is on alert. Right now, Valencia is suffering. AND my heart is also suffering with Valencia”.

After this brutal testimony, with a Oscar visibly excited and with his face completely wrapped in suffering, Risto Mejide agreed with him completely and he intoned the ‘mea culpa’: “If you are unattended and you have been removing that mud, of course “we have failed you”. A very reflective Oscar wondered if the small self-employed businesses will soon start up again: “This is going to last months, I don’t know if it will last for years.”

But it was going to be the next question that unleashed a loud applause from the audience: “If aid from the Tenerife volcano has not yet been received, “When will we receive aid from the catastrophe?”. The young man burst into tears without being able to articulate another word.

Risto Mejide asked Fabián (journalist from ‘Everything is a Lie’ present on the Telecinco program) to gave him a hug. And his testimony had generated – in addition to applause – the tears on the set from ‘Demos: the great survey’.

Ana Francisco, journalist from ‘Demos: the great poll’, was addressing Óscar to tell him that when she went to Masanasa a week ago The mud reached his knees: “I hallucinated. It seemed horrible to me. So, feel embraced not only by Fabián, but by everyone those of us who do this program.
