Authorities in Valencia have dismissed calls for resignations amid growing anger over the government's response to catastrophic flooding that killed at least 222 people. Protests erupted, with demonstrators demanding the resignation of regional president Carlos Mazón, leading to clashes with police. Vice-president Susana Camarero stated that the government will not abandon the victims. Mazón plans to address the situation in parliament, while the central government insists the disaster response was the regional government's responsibility. A new weather alert warns of potential heavy rains in the coming days, complicating recovery efforts.
