Protests of thousands of people in Spain against the ineffectiveness of the government regarding the floods

According to RCO News Agency, one of the speakers of this protest march told the local media: “A month ago, 2 cities and 2 regions were destroyed due to the ineffectiveness of the Madrid government in notifying timely warnings due to floods. “The local government can’t morally handle the situation and rebuild the city.”

According to Anatolia News agency, on October 29, the rain caused flash floods in several parts of Spain, but the province of Valencia suffered the most.

At least 222 people died in Valencia in what is now known as the worst natural disaster in Spain’s modern history. Eight other people died in other areas.

Spanish authorities are still searching for the other four missing persons.

This is the second mass demonstration targeting the regional government of Valencia, and its main demand is the resignation of Carlos Mazón, the regional president of Valencia.

According to the statistics of the regional government, 130,000 people attended the initial march.

Mazon’s public anger is the most because his government issued a flood warning when it was too late and failed to inform citizens that they should take security measures to protect their lives.

Many people died while driving, in ground floor apartments or even trying to move their cars out of the parking lot due to lack of timely flood warning.

According to the Spanish media, it was later revealed that Mazon was having lunch on the day the flood occurred and arrived at the emergency meeting 2 hours late.

Many protesters complain that they have not received enough help from the central government. Protesters also criticized the scandal-plagued contracts with construction companies to rebuild flooded areas, as well as the government’s inadequate actions.
