Thousands of people in Valencia are calling for the resignation of regional leader Carlos Mazón due to his administration’s handling of deadly floods that claimed over 220 lives. Protesters, upset about delayed alerts and a chaotic response, clashed with police while Mazón defended his actions and emphasised the need for ongoing recovery efforts. Environmental groups and left-wing politicians have accused the government of ignoring prior warnings and are demanding accountability from oil and gas companies in the aftermath of the disaster.
