“Politicians throw stones at each otherThey speculate, blame themselves, justify themselves, protect themselves and the people drown. We are facing historical negligence, on the part of everyone. “They didn’t warn and then they didn’t act.”Iker Jiménez began by saying from the set in this ‘Horizonte’ special and continued reflecting: “I have spent my entire life searching for the mysteries and who was going to tell me that 8 kilometers from Valencia I was going to enter the dark dimension…”
The presenter was referring to the desperate screams that the neighbors shouted from their balconies while the ‘Horizonte’ cameras roamed these streets asking for help: “There was a moment that was the rebellion of the balconies. Supposedly no one could get there, in the most absolute darkness and silence I have ever felt in my life. “I myself was not aware, like so many, of what was happening.”
“Our responsibility is great to tell them what was not told. Quique Sánchez Flores and Miguel Tendillo, Valencians, wrote to me and told me: ‘until we saw that darkness and those screams we did not know what was happening 8 kilometers from my house.’
The desperate cries of the neighbors affected by DANA from their balconies: “We need help, we have nothing”
“We must talk about the help that must be given. With Ángel Gaitán we have raised 600,000 euros, we take 100 trucks tomorrow, we return to ground zero tomorrow,” explained Iker Jiménez and, in fact, he assured that what he was able to witness in this area It’s something you’ve never seen before.
Our presenter, last Thursday before the ‘Horizon’ cameras could live in situ than thousands of people are having to live at ground zero after the passage of DANA, where there is a lack of electricity, food, water and many basic needs for life.
Iker Jiménez, very emotional from the epicenter of the tragedy in Valencia
situation in which Iker Jiménez couldn’t help but get excited: “In my 51 years I have never seen anything like this, you have no idea what it is like to be here. It is very difficult to express, you have to live it here and listen to these people. I’m just a speaker, they tell me to ask for help. “This is a war zone, it cannot be a battle of politicians, you have to come here to see towns completely devastated.”
