Valencia leader admits errors in flood response

Carlos Mazón, a member of Spain's conservative People's party, is facing calls to resign due to his response to the country's worst natural disaster in recent history. On October 29, torrential rains and floods hit eastern, central, and southern parts of Spain, resulting in the loss of 224 lives. Mazón has conceded that mistakes were made, but refused to step down, attributing the disaster's severity to the unprecedented scale of the event.
