Much calmer and much more serene, it was this time the visit of kings to areas affected by DANA in the Valencian Community. The scenario this Tuesday was completely different. as of November 3. that timethe tragedy was too recent and the streets still bore the scars of the disaster: mud, debris and an atmosphere marked by the indignation and frustration of the neighbors.
On the other hand, this Tuesday, the atmosphere was much calmer and warmer. The neighbors received the monarchs with applause, kisses and expressions of gratitude. Between the cries of “Long live the king!” and “Long live the queen!”Felipe and Letizia visited some of the most affected areas, such as the Poyo ravine in Chiva, which completely overflowed on October 29, and Utiel, where they heard words of gratitude such as: “thank you for coming to Valencia “.
Accompanying the kings, although remaining in the background, were the president of the Generalitat Valenciana, Carlos Mazonand the Minister of Territorial Policy, Ángel Víctor Torres. However, Mazón’s presence sparked reactions. Even if the majority of participants were calm, criticism of the regional leader also emerged. Cries like “Mazón, we don’t want you here” or “If you were ashamed, you would be at home” They clearly expressed the opinion of part of the population, particularly in Chiva and Utiel.
