King Felipe VI of Spain has faced angry protesters while visiting the Valencia region, which has been hit by unprecedented floods.
Footage shows an angry crowd shouting “murderer” and “shame” at the king, who was also asked why nothing had been done to avoid the tragedy.
Spain’s worst floods in decades have left whole neighbourhoods covered in mud and strewn with mangled cars and debris.
More than 200 people were killed in the floods, with many more missing. Emergency workers are continuing to comb through underground car parks and tunnels in the hope of finding survivors and recovering bodies.

Dam shame: what really caused Valencia’s floods?
Who is to blame for the devastating floods that hit Valencia on 29 October? The mob that surrounded King Felipe at the weekend and drove Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez out of town with a hail of mud and stones was angry at the failure to forecast the flood and warn people to get out of its way. The BBC would like us to be angry at man-made climate change for causing the storm – putting out a headline the very next day: ‘Scientists say climate change made Spanish floods worse.’
Yet Valencia had a similarly terrible flood in 1957, in which 81 people died, long before climate change became the go-to excuse for any bad weather. After that flood, to prevent a recurrence, the Spanish government built a string of dams in the hills to hold back water and diverted the Turia river away from the city.
Under a European Union programme to encourage the restoration of rivers to their wild state for the benefit of fish migration, Spain set about dismantling barriers of all kinds. In 2021 it got rid of 108 dams and weirs; in 2022, another 133
Totalling 241 dams removed by Spanish authorities under EU mandatory directives !
What do you think could be the cause for this self harming ?
Talk about shooting yourself in the foot !!
WHY YOU DO NOT MENTION PEDRO SANCHEZ AND MAZON? YOU ARE TAKING IMAGES OUT OF CONTEXT. OBJECTS WERE THROWN TO SANCHEZ, NOT TO THE KING.
