In the wake of a devastating storm in the Comunidad Valenciana and Castilla-La Mancha, political tensions have surfaced regarding the handling of the emergency response.

Alberto Núñez Feijóo, leader of the Popular Party (PP), has criticized the central government, blaming state-dependent agencies like the State Meteorological Agency (Aemet) for potential protocol failures.

Feijóo argues that the regional government acted based on the information provided by these agencies, which he suggests may have been inaccurate or delayed.

In contrast, Carlos Mazón, the Valencian president, has expressed gratitude towards Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez for his swift response and support, highlighting a unified front in managing the crisis.

Despite the political blame game, the focus remains on finding the missing and supporting affected families, with the central government deploying significant resources to aid the region.

The storm has claimed over 150 lives, and the search for missing persons continues amidst ongoing weather threats.
