Despite the tragedy and pain experienced by those affected by DANA, which devastated several villages in Valencia, leaving for the moment 217 dead, Pedro Sanchez arrived this Sunday in Paiporta with a smile on his face compared to the serious look of the King who appears next to him in the video. The President of the Government arrived in one of the areas most affected by rains and overflows a few steps ahead of Philip VIsomething very significant since, according to protocol, it must be the opposite, a political leader can never precede the figure of the Monarch.
Sánchez’s smile sparked outrage on social media, with several users criticizing him for the behavior. This is the case, for example, of Santiago Abascal that this gesture not only made him ugly, but also asked for his resignation: “He abandoned the visit to Paiporta. But what must give up is the government. I only hope to see this corrupt and criminal government brought to justice. With people. “Against Sánchez’s mud,” said the Vox leader.
“Pedro Sánchez enters Paiporta laughing a few steps in front of the king. Eventually he had to flee out the back door. And that smile has surely been erased,” say other comments from other users of the social network. x.

Visit of Sánchez with the kings and the president of the Generalitat, Carlos Mazon Paiporta was surrounded by moments of tension and anguish. All were received with shouts and insults. Neighbors even threw mud and objects in their faces. Faced with this situation, Pedro Sánchez left the delegation and went to the Emergency Coordination Center (Cecopi) to attend a meeting in which the kings and the president of the Valencian Community will also participate.
The president’s escape in his official car, a black all terrain vehiclealso posed a problem. A group of people chased the president’s security team as they were evacuated and confronted them while Sánchez attempted to climb up. The neighbors started hitting them with sticks and throwing stones against the hood and car windows causing various damages.
On the other hand, Don Felipe VI and Doña Letizia as well as Carlos Mazón, “escorted” by the king, decided to stay to talk to the neighbors despite the criticism and attacks they received from all those involved, very indignant and with a lot of anger for lack of help 5 days after the start of the tragedy.
The King approached those present to console them, give them moral support and find out why they are not receiving more help: “I want to know first-hand the Why didn’t all the help come sooner? that they claim”, said the king.
Some neighbors even burst into tears as they rested their heads on his shoulder. Samples of affection that his wife Queen Letizia also shared. His majesty couldn’t help but cry and also ended up hugging several citizens. One of them even told him: “It’s not because of you, ma’am”, in relation to the incidents previously experienced when objects and mud were thrown at them and at Pedro Sánchez.
