Valencia, Spain, is engulfed in public outrage following devastating floods on October 29 that resulted in over 220 deaths. Protesters demand the resignation of regional president Carlos Mazón, accusing his administration of a delayed response and failure to issue timely emergency alerts. Reports indicate Mazón was absent from critical meetings, stirring accusations of mismanagement. The regional government has ruled out resignations, stating that stepping down would betray the flood victims. Demonstrations have seen clashes with police, with citizens taking clean-up efforts into their own hands. The central government insists the responsibility lay with Mazón's administration, while Mazón promises explanations in parliament amidst ongoing recovery operations.
