Valencia Protests Demand Accountability After Floods

Published: 2024-11-30

Thousands of protesters have taken to the streets of Valencia, demanding the resignation of the regional president, Carlos Mazón, over his handling of the catastrophic floods on October 29. The disaster claimed 222 lives and left many areas devastated.

Demonstrators, carrying banners with messages like "No forgiveness," criticized the government's slow response and inadequate support for affected communities.

The protest, organized by a coalition of social groups, highlighted ongoing struggles in the region, including disrupted public services and insufficient aid.

Despite the government's efforts to repair infrastructure, many residents still face significant challenges, with some areas recommending masks due to dust and advising bottled water use.

The protestors' calls for justice and accountability continue to resonate, as they demand more effective action from both regional and national authorities.
