Residents of Paiporta expressed their frustration with authorities during a visit from Spain’s royal couple, Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez, and regional president Carlos Mazon. Following devastating floods that claimed at least 217 lives, angry citizens directed shouts of ‘Killers!’ and hurled mud at the officials, blaming them for slow emergency responses. Criticism intensified after a delayed alert failed to warn people in time. Many residents felt abandoned, seeking quicker assistance and investigations into the apparent mismanagement, as tensions rise amid a demand for accountability from local and national leaders.
