King Felipe Taunted by Angry Crowds as He Visits Flood-Stricken Valencia
------------------------------------------------------------------------

In Spain, King Felipe, Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez and other officials
were met with furious crowds as they toured the flood-stricken Valencia
region, where at least 214 people died last week. Locals threw mud at
the king and his entourage, and shouted out "killer," "shame" and "You
abandoned us!" amid mounting public outrage over the delayed warnings
before the disaster, and the slow delivery of aid in the flood's wake.
