At least 217 people – according to a latest report – have lost their lives in the dramatic floods which hit Spain a few days ago. King Felipe VI and Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez visited the disaster areas and were not well received by the population.
King Felipe VI of Spain and Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez were greeted Sunday with cries of “assassins!” in Paiporta, a town devastated by this week’s floods, by an angry crowd who threw mud at the procession, noted the journalists on site. Their security services had to intervene to keep residents at bay.
The hostility of these residents is particularly directed against the right-wing president of the Valencia region Carlos Mazón and the socialist Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez. “Mazón resign!”, “how many dead?”, “out!”, shouted the crowd who accuses the authorities of having abandoned them to their fate.
