A severe flood in Paiporta, near Valencia, has resulted in at least 215 fatalities, leading to public outrage directed at officials during a visit by King Felipe VI and Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez. Locals expressed their anger, blaming the government for inadequate disaster responses. Many residents are still without drinking water and essential supplies, exacerbating tensions. Criticism has also emerged over the recent dismantling of the regional disaster response unit, which some believe could have mitigated the impacts. As the region struggles to rebuild, there are growing calls for improved flood management and urban planning in response to climate challenges.
