In the wake of catastrophic floods that claimed over 220 lives on October 29, Valencia’s leader Carlos Mazón admitted to mistakes in disaster management but resisted resignation calls during a parliamentary session. He attributed the delayed public alert and insufficient warnings to failures of two government agencies, while defending his actions under the unprecedented circumstances. Protests erupted outside as citizens accused him of mismanagement, expressing outrage over the handling of rescue efforts and ongoing hardships in affected areas like Paiporta, where mud and sewage issues remain prevalent.
