Ordinary decent people are starting to realise they've been taken fof mugs by the ruling elite.
Ridiculous planet where they still have pointless kings and queens! Look at England, he doesn't even help the homeless and there's more food banks than ever! ❤
Greed played a part if the resources were correctly distributed across the land rather then funding lavish lifestyles then this may have been far less devastating. Greed not climate. As humans what they are doing
Wow. Disgusting behaviour. I can hardly believe this happened.
No. Way. Can. Anyone. Blame. The. King. For. The. Slow. Response. That. Is. The. Government. Not. Him.. Totol. Disgrace. Too. Throw. Mud. At. Him. I. UNDERSTAND. BUT. SO.. SO. SHAMEFUL. OF THAT. PERSON… 🦀🙃..
Distain towards tyrrant monarchy is felt in every country that has the miss fortune of having one the problem is the people that dont understand why
Kind of brought it upon himself, why would you go to such a devastation when you offer no help
Well done to the people, they deserve better than this
Is he really a King? Like do people take it seriously? Its Spain…
👍
England gets flooded. No help from above either.
Spain might be onto something
the king showing his face and the felon Pedro Sánchez fleeing like a rat.
And the president of Spain and the president of the Valencian Community escaped and left the kings alone in front of the crowd.
Why did they throw mud at their King? He didn’t cause the damage?
These royals are not even Spanish.
Why were the people calling him a murderer?
Real problem was with the Pedro Sánchez, not with the King. Just look for photos on how destroyed the car of Sánchez left the place
Who failed to control flood by bad forcasting. ? People caught in surprised trap like rats.
The headline is wrong!
They were not shouting or throwing mud at the king, but at Pedro Sanchez the prime minister of Spain and Carlos Mazon the President of Valencia. All the anger was aimed at the politicians. The source of this original headline which is in error spreading around the world is the state funded Spanish press, protecting the public image of their boss, Sanchez.
Left wing PM Ran away – The Sovereign King Remained ! People are angry with the lack of support Q; Where is the wonderful E U ? E U has lots of money for The Ukraine and Africa !!!
I'm just curious what the weather man said before all this happened…
The crowd was angry and chanting against the Prime Minister, Sánchez, not King Felipe.
AM J U S T WHERE WHERE IS THE POPE??😮
Typical EU liberals, making a disaster worse, rather than helping the 1000's that lost everything. These are the same elites that want you to build windmills, and solar panels to save endangered guppys and 3 eyed frogs
The Spanish Royal House has no competences attributed in this. All the powers are of the Central Government, which has looked the other way and has refused to send all the resources and instruments of the State necessary to alleviate this catastrophe. The boos and insults were not for the King, they were for President Pedro Sánchez, who fled from this situation. This for those who really want to know the real situation we live in Spain at the moment.
The King in Spain has no powers attributed to this. He cannot command the army, or any recourse. The competences are of the Central State
The Guardian should report on the entire event. The main ire of the crowd was directed towards the prime minister Pedro Sanchez, who fled the scene while sticks were thrown at him and people attacked his car. The king was able to stay because he was not the main object of hatred of the crowd as he is mainly a figurehead. Political angling between the national government led by the PSOE and the regional government led by the PP has led to a devasting delay the in arrival of military aid and fire departments from other regions, and the chants of the crowd clearly state that their beef is with Sanchez. It should also be noted the the huge convoy of SUVs for the visit was a magnificent display of political entitlement, as they arrived empty-handed when said vehicles should have also been filled to the brim with material aid during the visit. On a final note, the visit of the heads of state also blocked the arrival of aid for several hours due the security reasons.
Hello from Spain 🇪🇸 angry crowd was and is angry with politicians. Not with the king and queen. Tell the truth 👌🏻
Why The Guardian lies ? The people are shouting against Pedro Sanchez, the Prime Minister, not against the king, and the coward of Sanchez has escaped the first lefting the King and the queen alone.
Let everyone know, that the international media are lying, the king went with the president of Spain and the president of the Valencian community, these two people fled like rats and it was the king who was the only one who listened to the people, the screams of murderers were not for him, but for the politicians, the king has no political power
The days of monarchs in democracies are numbered
To be honest, the anger was against the prime minister, who had fled moments before, not against the king
Bila kejadian tersebut ada di indonesia,,,,presiden akan di beri kehormatan dan karpet merah ..walau ratusan nyawa sdh melayang akibat bencana alam.!
That's what you want, peasants leading the country into chaos? He's the King, those peasants should get on their knees bow down and ask to be purified 👌
This is all shenanigans. There is no man-made climate change! Spain must have had just a little rainy day! 😂❤
