VALENCIA, Spain (AP) — A crowd of angry survivors of Spain’s floods tossed mud and shouted insults at Spain’s King Felipe VI and government officials when they made their first visit to one of the hardest hit towns on Sunday.
Government officials accompanied the monarch who tried to talk to some locals while others shouted at him in Paiporta, an outskirt of Valencia city that has been devastated.
Police had to step in with officers on horseback to keep back the crowd of several dozens.
Over 200 people have died from Tuesday’s floods and thousands have had their homes destroyed by the wall of water and mud.
