Two years on, Valencia is still demanding answers for 234 dead in the 2024 flooding – and blaming Sánchez rather than local Popular Party leaders

In Valencia, Spain, 130,000 protesters demanded accountability for the 2024 floods that resulted in 234 deaths. Meteorologist Victoria Roselló criticized the lack of official warnings despite advance knowledge of the storm. She expressed frustration over the failure to alert the public, especially those at risk. Spain has a phone alert system for disasters, but it was not utilized for the floods. While the disaster itself was unavoidable, the loss of life could have been mitigated with proper warnings. This incident adds to a series of tragedies affecting the credibility of Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez's government.
