Protests Erupt as King Felipe Visits Flood-Stricken Valencia Area
During a visit to the flood-affected region near Valencia, Spanish King Felipe faced protests from angry crowds who hurled mud, bottles, and shouted insults, including calls for him to leave. The visit, which included Queen Letizia and Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez, aimed to assess the damage and ongoing relief efforts after devastating floods claimed over 200 lives. Despite the uproar, King Felipe attempted to engage with frustrated residents. Authorities have delayed a second royal visit as search and rescue operations continue, with concerns about potential victims trapped in submerged areas.
