After hundreds of years of enjoying the worlds climate destroying it by the industrial revolution and lack of care for the earth they blame their leaders😅 We need a new world strategy the west I’ve got it wrong. They failed now all they have is their right wing views and flooding.
🇪🇸
It is not possible to be inactive, irresponsible, frivolous and indifferent without any consequences. Both the Government of the Autonomous Community of Valencia and the National Government must comply with what society demands. "It is time to apply the PROFESSIONAL CODE of ETHICS"
Do not buy the info to RTVE or EFE, dear foreing "journalists". Once in your life, move your arses and investigate a little!!!! This was not a popular protest, but a violent action planned by the national govermnet!
The spanish press dont talk about that. La prensa española no habla de esto, solo quieren esconder a sus jefes.
How come no coverage of equally angry protestors in MADRID??? These are the angry Valencianos. Plenty more angry people in the capital and outside the Socialist Party HQ in Ferraz Street
because basically these self-inflated big-head politicos havent got a clue about responsibility or duty of care, they are simply self-promoting greasy pole climbers. bring out the tumbrels.
Sánchez = Stalin
the way this tragedy has been instrumentalized by politicians is incredible. I think Spanish society is fed up with politics that have suported mainly rich expats and tourists and little it has been done for the locals. when a tragedy like this happens, you cant wait a week to send help. shame
On 15th will be the main one that will demand the resignation of Pedro Sanchez. This "strike" was moved by the left of spain. So, no, people ask for the head of the prime minister. Informs shows he didnt say anything to valencia knowing dana was coming by the spanish secret services.
La izquierda comunista creando odio,,,a donde hay que ir es a la Moncloa a echar el PERRO SÁNCHEZ
Over a Natural disaster you want a New Leader??!! I was under the Impression Spain was a Smart and Educated society. Seems not.
Sanchez dimision!!
No more SOCIALISM. No more. Sánchez GET OUT
Spaniards -the world feels your pain! Please remove the cowardly and criminal Sanchez from power as the first and most important step going forward.
¿Decenas de miles? Buscaros una calculadora que no sea de los chinos…
I was 5 kilometers away. On the other side of the new river bed. That afternoon and that night it wasn't raining. I got an alert on my phone. At that time people were already drowning. The swamps and dams couldn't hold any more water. I only knew that it was raining a lot in the inland areas. I didn't expect this. The roads and bridges were destroyed. That night I didn't leave the building. I found out through social media. How could I have been so close that night and not found out? I didn't see emergency vehicles on the streets or anything that could alert me of what was happening. The people around me were like me. Waiting for the authorities to do their duty. For four days, four days the authorities of the Valencia region and the Spanish government had more than 80 municipalities affected, four days, with the dead in the streets and garages, without water, without electricity, without homes, without families. This is a crime that the politicians of both parties have done to the Valencian people. A crime. 😢
¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡Pedro Sánchez: prisión permanente revisable!!!!!!!!!!!!
In Spain we know perfectly well that responsibilities are shared between the Autonomous Government and the Central Government. Several criminal complaints are already being filed against both Carlos Mazon, who is responsible for the Government
Valencian as towards Pedro Sánchez responsible for the Central Government. Justice will determine responsibilities and not politicians who only look for their partisan interests
En España sabemos perfectamente que la responsabilidades son compartidos entre el Gobierno Autonómico y el Gobierno Central. Ya se están presentando varias querellas criminales tanto hacia Carlos Mazon responsable del Gobierno Valenciano como hacia Pedro Sánchez responsable del Gobierno Central . La justicia determinará las responsabilidades y no los políticos que solo miran por sus intereses partidistas
De Portugal: Mazon demission
