Valencia Floods Spark Leadership Controversy

Published: 2025-02-27

The catastrophic floods in Valencia on October 29, which claimed 227 lives, have ignited a political storm.

President Carlos Mazón faces criticism for his handling of the crisis, with accusations of delayed alerts and conflicting accounts of his actions.

Mazón insists he was actively managing the situation and denies misleading the public, stating he arrived at the emergency center at 8:28 PM, after the alert was issued.

However, judicial investigations highlight that most deaths occurred before the warning.

Public outrage was evident during a recent event, where attendees called for his resignation.

Meanwhile, the opposition and some citizens question the government's crisis management, as the timeline of events reveals inconsistencies in Mazón's narrative.
