During a visit to the flood-ravaged town of Paiporta, Queen Letizia of Spain was brought to tears after confronting flood victim Alicia, who criticized the royal family's lack of awareness regarding the disaster's impact. Alicia clarified that her intention was not to console the Queen but to express her frustration, stating, 'This could have been avoided.' The emotional encounter came amid widespread outrage from locals, many of whom shouted insults and accusations at the royal couple, leading to a tense atmosphere. Despite their intentions to provide comfort, the royals faced mud-throwing protesters and harsh criticism, highlighting the community's suffering following devastating flash floods. As rescuers continue to search for bodies, the situation remains dire, with ongoing weather threats complicating recovery efforts. The royal family’s visit, intended to show solidarity, instead underscored the residents' pain and anger over the disaster response.
