Details of the funeral for the victims of the dana and who will be there
The time chosen, 6:00 p.m., since it is a working Wednesday, it has been chosen so that family members who work that day can attend and come at the end of the working day.
Calatrava’s architectural complex has been chosen for its large dimensions, and for being a secular space.
The main authorities of the State, the King and Queen of Spain and relatives of the 237 victims will attend. The attendance of the president of the Generalitat Valenciana, Carlos Mazón, has yet to be confirmed. The victims’ associations had rejected his presence in recent days.

Acord Social Valencià has also planned acts of vindication and tribute for the day itself 29 as at 13 hours, with a protest in the Plaza de la Virgen de València and, at 18 hours, with a march through the towns affected by the dana de l’Horta Sud.
