Abstract

The article reports on a hostile reception faced by the Spanish king and prime minister in a flooded town, where they were met with chants of "murderers" and mud-throwing by angry protesters. The visit to the devastated town of Paiporta, following flash floods that killed over 200 people, highlighted the slow government response and conflicting accounts from regional and central authorities. The crisis exposed the fragility of Spain's decentralized power system and the political challenges faced by Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez, who was criticized for his handling of the disaster.
