Tens of thousands rallied in Valencia, demanding the resignation of regional head Carlos Mazón due to perceived mismanagement of the recent flooding crisis that resulted in over 200 deaths and many missing. Protesters criticized delayed flood warnings, chanting slogans reflecting their anger. The demonstrations follow an earlier incident where officials, including King Felipe VI and Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez, faced public backlash during a visit to affected areas. Mazón, from the conservative Popular Party, has defended his administration’s response, claiming inadequate warning from the central government about the impending disaster.
