Demonstrators gather for a protest organised by social and civic groups, denouncing the handling of recent flooding under the slogan ‘Mazón, Resign’, aimed at the president of the regional government Carlos Mazon, in Valencia, Spain, November 9, 2024
OVER 100,000 people marched in Valencia at the weekend demanding the resignation of regional president Carlos Mazon in the wake of catastrophic floods that left hundreds dead.
Mr Mazon, of the right-wing People’s Party (PP), is accused of delaying flood alerts and emergency responses in the interest of businesses which didn’t want to close early.
Marchers carried placards reading “Mazon Resign!” and “You Killed Us!” Outside the city hall where the march began, riot police beat back some protesters deemed too close with truncheons.
