Thousands of protesters gathered in Valencia, Spain, condemning the government’s handling of severe floods that left over 220 people dead and nearly 80 missing. Demonstrators accused regional leader Carlos Mazon of issuing a flood alert too late, sparking anger across communities devastated by the late warning. Protesters, chanting "Killers!" and holding banners reading "Our hands are stained with mud, yours with blood," called for Mazon’s resignation. Authorities say an official monitoring body failed to notify them in time, while critics argue local organizations responded faster to the national weather service warnings issued days earlier.
