The region’s political leader, Carlos Manzón, has received sharp criticism for being difficult to reach during the disaster. He is held responsible for the fact that the authorities did not send out warnings in time. Mazón is also accused of having acted too late and with too little force once the disaster was a fact. On October 29, the day the disaster began, he took the opportunity to have a long lunch until 6 in the evening. “Committed all the wrong they could” Words like “resign” and “murderer” echo between the houses. – The regional government did not warn about the floods in time and acted too late. They did not request help from the central government. They committed all the mistakes they could, says the Valencian David Rubio. More than 200 people died in the floods in Spain last week. Thousands of homes were destroyed by masses of water and mud that welled up. Many streets and houses are still covered in mud.
