VALENCIA, Spain — Spain's King Felipe VI and top government officials were pelted with mud by a crowd of enraged flood survivors during the first visit by the country's leaders Sunday to the center of the suffering.
"Get out! Get out!” and “Killers!” the crowd shouted among other insults. Bodyguards opened umbrellas to protect the royals and officials as protestors hurled mud at them. Over 200 people have died from Tuesday’s floods and thousands have had their homes destroyed by the wall of water and mud. And more anger has been fueled by the inability of officials to respond quickly to aftermath. Most of the cleanup of the layers and layers of mud and debris that has invaded countless homes has been done by residents and thousands of volunteers.Shouts included demands for Mazón, whose administration is in charge of civil protection, and “Where is Pedro Sánchez?”
