Angry crowds throw mud at Spain’s king in flood-hit Valencia

· 1 min read

BBC:

The King and Queen of Spain have been pelted with mud and other objects by angry protesters during a visit to the flood-hit town of Paiporta.

Shouts of “murderer” and “shame” were directed at the royal delegation as they walked through the town – one of the worst-affected areas of the Valencia region.

With mud on their faces and clothes, King Felipe and Queen Letizia were later seen consoling members of the crowd.

More than 200 people were killed in the floods, the worst in Spain for decades. Emergency workers are continuing to comb through underground car parks and tunnels in the hope of finding survivors and recovering bodies.

There has been anger at a perceived lack of warning and insufficient support from authorities after the floods.

King Felipe and Queen Letizia have been visiting Paiporta, a town that has been severely affected.
