In response to Spain’s deadliest floods in decades, which claimed 222 lives, Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez announced a new aid package worth €3.76 billion. This follows an earlier commitment of €10.6 billion. The funds will streamline compensation for affected residents, with additional support for farmers totaling €200 million. Sanchez emphasized the importance of reconstruction and pledged comprehensive state support throughout the recovery process. As emergency services work to repair infrastructure, protests erupted in Valencia due to perceived government mismanagement. Extreme weather threats remain, with forecasts predicting further storms in the region.
