Valencia king

SPAIN’S King Felipe VI and top government officials were pelted with mud during their first visit today to the epicentre of the deadly Valencian flood disaster.

Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez was evacuated when the official contingent started to walk the mud-covered streets of Paiporta, one of the hardest hit areas where over 60 people died.

An angry crowd hurled mud and wielded shovels and poles at the group, with some shouting: “Get out! Get out!” and “Killers!”
