He King Felipe VI will visit next Tuesday, November 12, the military units deployed in the Valencian Community on the occasion of the DANA. The monarch returns to the region 10 days after visiting the Valencian town of Paiporta to inquire about the state of the citizens of the municipality in the company of the President of Government, Pedro Sanchezand the head of the regional Executive, Carlos Mazon. During this event, neighbors reprimanded the authorities, forcing the socialist leader to leave the scene while the king continued to lead the procession.
The official agenda of the Royal Household provides that on November 12, the monarch will visit the contingents of the Earth Army, the Air and Space Force and the Military Emergency Unit at the Base Military “Jaime I”. This tour will be complemented by a visit to the amphibious assault ship Galicia in the port of Valencia and the main logistics base of the Army, at the Valencia Fair.
During this visit, as announced by the Royal Household, only official means will be available. But, as it appears from the monarchs’ agenda, “the House of His Majesty the King and the Ministry of Defense will disseminate images and photographs.”
Return to the Valencian Community
The Valencians exploded last Sunday showing their indignation during the visit of Reyes and Sánchez. The president of the government reacted very differently Philip VI And Ms. Letizia. The kings continued their conversation with the people, visibly worried, trying to calm their minds and bring them comfort. Meanwhile, the socialist leader chose to act with fear. The Valencians threw mud and stones at the procession, shouting “assassins!”, “Pedro Sánchez, where are you?!” and “son of a bitch!” Ultimately, the visit had to be suspended.
The tragedy caused the DANA in the Valencian Community pushed hundreds of local residents to the limit Paiporta. Thus, the visit ended abruptly, the king trying to calm the people, talking with the neighbors and above all listening to them. On the other hand, the Queen, crying and asking for forgiveness from the Valencians, said: “How can they not feel this? How can they not be angry? An attitude that contrasts with that of Sánchez. The general manager fled the scene, protected by his bodyguards, and was evacuated to a safe location.
Finally, the Kings ended their visit to Paiporta with hugs from the neighbors despite the moments of nervousness and anxiety experienced throughout the morning. Felipe VI even 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 why all the help they are asking for “didn’t come sooner.”
Some neighbors even burst into tears as they rested their heads on his shoulder. Samples of affection that Queen Letizia also shared. His Majesty couldn’t help but cry and also ended up hugging several citizens. One of them even told her: “It’s not because of you, ma’am.” He referred to previous incidents when objects and mud were thrown at them and at Sánchez.
