A massive protest in Valencia saw 130,000 people demanding the resignation of Carlos Mazón, the president of the Valencian Community, due to his handling of a recent devastating flood.

The protestors criticized Mazón for his delayed response to the disaster, which resulted in significant loss of life and property.

Demonstrators carried banners accusing him of negligence, with slogans like "Mazón, resign" and "Mazón, to prison.

" The protest, organized by over 40 civic groups, highlighted the perceived incompetence of political leaders and praised the efforts of volunteers aiding in the cleanup.
