Valencia Palau Footage Deletion and Public Data Retention

Valencia’s Palau de la Generalitat saw a notable shift on October 29 when security camera footage collected inside the building during the Dana storm was deleted by the Council. The request to access the footage came from PSPV and Compromís, who sought to clarify the whereabouts of President Carlos Mazón during the most critical hours of that day. The disclosures revealed requests for documentation and a response from the Presidency of the Generalitat, which cited Organic Law 4/1997. That law governs how video cameras used by the Forces and Corps of Security in public spaces may be employed, and the response suggested that the request for footage could be refused under the regulation.
