In a marked contrast to their previous visit to Paiporta, the Spanish Royals, King Felipe VI and Queen Letizia, were warmly received in Chiva and Utiel, two towns severely affected by the recent DANA storm.

The visit, initially postponed due to protests in Paiporta, saw the monarchs greeted with applause and cheers, while criticism was largely directed at Carlos Mazón, the President of the Generalitat Valenciana, who accompanied them.

The Royals' visit aimed to show solidarity with the victims of the storm, which claimed over 200 lives in the region.

The atmosphere in Chiva was notably calmer, with residents expressing appreciation for the Royals' presence and commitment to support the affected communities.

Meanwhile, Mazón faced calls for resignation from some locals, highlighting ongoing dissatisfaction with the regional government's response to the disaster.

The visit also included stops in Utiel and Letur, further emphasizing the Royals' dedication to understanding the full impact of the tragedy.
