Residents angered as Spanish king visits flood affected area | ABS-CBN News
Hundreds of residents of a Valencia suburb particularly badly hit by last week's deadly floods protested on Sunday (November 3) during a visit by Spanish King Felipe with some throwing mud at him. Chanting "Murderers, murderers!" they vented pent-up anger over what has been widely perceived by local residents as tardy alerts from the authorities about the dangers of Tuesday's storm and flooding in the Valencia region, and then a late response by the emergency services when disaster struck. "It was known and nobody did anything to avoid it," a young man told the king, who insisted on staying on to talk to the people despite the turmoil. The death toll from the country's worst flash floods in modern history edged higher to 217 on Sunday - almost all in the Valencia region and over 60 of them in Paiporta alone.
