Valencia Protests Demand Leader's Resignation

Published: 2024-11-30

In Valencia, a wave of protests has erupted demanding the resignation of Carlos Mazón, the president of the Generalitat, following the devastating floods on October 29 that claimed 222 lives.

Demonstrations have taken place across the Comunitat Valenciana, with participants carrying signs displaying the names of affected towns and the number of victims.

The protests, marking one month since the disaster, have been held in at least thirty municipalities, including heavily impacted areas like Paiporta and Catarroja.

Activists criticize Mazón's handling of the emergency, accusing him of negligence and failing to act on scientific warnings.

The protests are set to continue, with a major demonstration planned in Valencia's city center, calling for leadership that prioritizes climate action and public safety.
