We have a town in ruins. We need to start over and I'm begging for help. Please help us.
It's logical that the people are angry, it's logical that the people didn't understand why this visit is so urgent.
Do not pay attention to everything that is being published because there is a lot of information intoxication.
I am aware the response is not enough, there are problems and severe shortages... towns buried by mud, desperate people searching for their relatives... we have to improve.
I'm aware that the response we're mounting isn't enough. I know that.
I understand the public anger and of course I will stay to receive it. It is my political and moral obligation. The King's attitude this morning has been exemplary.
It's amazing how the government says yeah, it's not our fault. It's someone else's fault. But at this time we have to put our hands together and help each other.
The king and all came very clean and to look good in front of the town and cameras but this doesn't help us at all. He should come here and get rid of the mud, and the dead who are in garages. And then he'll be one of us.
The king can shove it but it's the Valencian government head, Carlos Mazon, and then Pedro Sánchez who are to blame. Better that they didn't come because it wouldn't have ended well for them.
