The tragedy caused by DANA in Valencia caused 221 people to die, 13 missing persons still to be located, and tens of thousands of victims, in addition to extensive material damage to towns, roads and infrastructure.
The torrential rains caused by the “cold drop” almost completely devastated some towns, such as Paiporta, Bennetusser, Chiva or Catarroja, where in addition to destroying the entire commercial fabric, it also undermined the facilities of the schools. The first measure to recover the students’ activity was to relocate them to other educational centers, most of them in the city of Valencia, to at least try to ensure that the children and adolescents did not miss more classes, since it is estimated that the affected students amounted to 32 thousand.

The march was called by the Platform in Defense of Public Education and was supported by several unions and political parties, such as Workers’ Commissions (CCOO), General Labor Union (UGT), the Socialist Party of Valencia (PSV) and Compromís. José Manuel Casermeiro, spokesperson for the platform of parents of students in Valencia, Fampa, described as a “disaster” the management of the crisis by the autonomous government, of the right-wing Popular Party (PP), which decided to “give the order to open of the educational centers affected by DANA while the means of cleaning or disinfection have not been put in place to leave the facilities in good condition.” He also reported that it was the families and teachers themselves, in addition to volunteers, who were in charge of cleaning the centers.
