Mass Protests Erupt in Valencia Over Flood Response

Tens of thousands of Spaniards have taken to the streets of Valencia demanding the resignation of the regional leader, Carlos Mazon, following a catastrophic response to recent deadly floods. Protests turned violent as crowds clashed with police, and demonstrators expressed their outrage towards the Spanish monarchy and government officials. During a visit by King Felipe and Queen Letizia to the flood-hit areas, they were pelted with mud and insults from angry residents, highlighting the deep dissatisfaction with the official relief efforts and the perception of negligence in managing the crisis. As the death toll continues to rise, calls for accountability and resignations echo across the region.
