People shouted ‘murderers’ as the group attempted an official visit to one of the municipalities affected
King Felipe VI of Spain is heckled by angry residents during his visit to Paiporta, in the region of Valencia, eastern Spain, on November 3, 2024, in the aftermath of devastating deadly floods.
Luján said his town was in desperate need of heavy machinery to clear out the vehicles and debris piled up along the streets. In Paiporta, one of the towns most affected by the floods, the mayor, Maribel Albalat, described the situation as desperate. Days after the town’s ravine overflowed, unleashing a deluge of water that wreaked havoc on the 29,000 inhabitants, parts of the town remain inaccessible, she said. “It’s impossible because there are bodies, there are vehicles with bodies and these have to be removed,” she told the news agency Europa Press. “Everything is very difficult.
The mayor of Chiva, where on Tuesday nearly a year’s worth of rain fell in eight hours, said the situation was a “rollercoaster” for the 17,000 residents.
