Protests Disrupt Castellón Festival Visit

Published: 2025-03-27

Valencian President Carlos Mazón faced protests during his visit to the Magdalena festival in Castellón.

Demonstrators criticized his handling of the October DANA disaster, which caused significant casualties.

The protests, organized on short notice, led to the suspension of his visit for safety reasons.

The local government condemned the protests as a "planned boicot" and accused radical groups of disrupting the event.

Mazón emphasized his commitment to supporting DANA victims and improving regional infrastructure.

The incident has sparked debate over the politicization of cultural events.
