During a visit to flood-stricken Paiporta, Spain’s King Felipe and Queen Letizia were met with protests, mud-slinging, and cries of “murderer” and “shame” from locals frustrated by the government’s flood response. Joined by Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez, who faced stone-throwing, the royals witnessed the depth of public anger following devastating floods that have claimed over 200 lives. The king later expressed empathy for the protesters, acknowledging their frustration. Authorities continue search efforts, while Sánchez has deployed additional forces to aid affected areas amidst criticism of insufficient warning and response.
