Spain Flash Floods
Angry crowd heckles Spanish royal family in flood-hit Valencia town following criticism of response to devastating floods
Flash floods have caused widespread destruction in Eastern Spain, resulting in the loss of 217 lives. The flooding has particularly affected 69 communities in Valencia's southern outskirts, where basic necessities remain scarce.
King Felipe VI and Queen Letizia, who arrived at a crisis centre, were specifically targeted, with mud being thrown at them. The king's bodyguards attempted to intervene, but the crowd's aggression continued. The incident is seen as a manifestation of the widespread frustration in Spain regarding the government's response to the severe flooding disaster that has occurred in the country.
