VALENCIA, Spain — Tens of thousands of people marched Saturday in Valencia to voice their anger at the authorities' handling of deadly floods.Thousands also marched in other Spanish cities, but the Valencia regional authorities put the turnout in the regional capital at 130,000.Some protesters shouted 'Murderers! Murderers!' and some carried placards denouncing Valencia's regional president as well as Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez.
'Mazon's management has been outrageous and he should resign,' 75-year-old Julian Garcia told Agence France-Presse.'In the hours before, they should have warned people to be on the alert, not to take their children to school, not to take their cars to work,' he added.But while the Valencia regional government was too slow to ask for help from Madrid, the central government also shared some of the blame, said Garcia.
