King of Spain Met with Protests During Flood Recovery Visit

During a visit to flood-devastated Valencia, King Felipe and Queen Letizia faced an angry crowd throwing mud and objects at them, shouting accusations of negligence towards authorities. The royal couple consoled locals in Paiporta, one of the hardest-hit areas, while the emotional toll of the disaster was evident, with more than 200 fatalities reported. Protesters expressed their frustration over a perceived lack of timely warning and support from officials, including Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez, who is deploying additional emergency personnel to assist in recovery efforts as communities struggle to rebuild.
