A week after devastating flash floods in eastern Spain claimed at least 218 lives, political unity has dissolved into fierce blame-shifting between regional and national leaders. Valencia’s regional leader Carlos Mazón faces mounting criticism for a delayed weather alert response, while national opposition leader Alberto Núñez Feijóo scrutinizes the government’s coordination efforts. Amid calls for Mazón’s resignation and a national state of emergency, tensions escalate, revealing deep divisions as responsibility for the disaster is debated. The military’s readiness to intervene has also sparked controversy, with demands for a more centralized crisis response.
