Watch: Tens of thousands protest in Valencia over flood response

Tens of thousands of people marched in Valencia on Saturday to voice their anger at the authorities’ handling of deadly floods.

Authorities said about 130,000 people turned out in the regional capital with thousands more protesting across other Spanish cities.

Some protesters shouted “Murderers! Murderers!” and some carried placards denouncing Carlos Mazon,Valencia’s regional president, as well as Pedro Sanchez, the Spanish prime minister.

Valencia was the region worst affected by last month’s floods, which killed at least 220 people and left towns and cities swamped with mud, the most serious in decades.

Residents are furious about the lack of warning, some pointing out that official alerts for the floods landed on people’s phones when cars were already being washed away.
