Sixth day after the tragedy and the devastation continues. The kings, Philip y Letiziahave arrived this Sunday to Paiporta together with the President of the Government, Pedro Sánchez and the president of the Generalitat Valenciana, Carlos MazónThe visit, far from being normal, has been marked by tension and where they have been rebuked by numerous citizens, outraged by their arrival.They even threw mud and objects at them.
Between shouts of “Get out” or “Assassins”, the population has surrounded and has rebuked the authorities from the first moment they have set foot in the town, facts that have made the procession broke. At the head have been the monarch and Mazón, separated from the rest. As they tried to continue, dozens of people shouted at them and threw objects. Police and Guardia Civil agentsas well as military, have tried at all times to protect them and contain all the tension, although they have continued trying to get closer to the people.
During the altercations, Sanchez, on the other hand, has had to be evacuated after numerous citizens addressed him. The President of the Government was even hit with a shovel, and he was immediately evacuated from the place. In addition, another group of citizens attacked his car with shovels, stones and objects.
Felipe VI and Mazón have continued in the place, trying to talk to several people, as well as Letizia, who has finally remained in another group and has been seen hugging some of those affected. ‘We have nothing!’ shouted a neighbor. “You don’t lack water… and the people here are dying!”another citizen rebuked Queen Letizia.
“Three days for the army to arrive, we have no clothes, we have no food, we have nothing.” two women have wielded two women to the queen, to whom they have assured that “they are lying to us”, to which she, visibly overcome by the situation, has confessed to them that they are “right”. “Bring a shovel,” “let them stain themselves.” shouted the crowd of people who were constantly trying to get out of the security cordon to get as close as possible to the authorities.
The king, as well as the president of the Generalitat, have ended up with mud stains on their faces and clothes. On the other hand, slogans of ‘help’, ‘Mazón resign’ or ‘Pedro Sánchez resign’ have also been heard. After almost half an hour, the retinue, which at all times has protected the authorities with umbrellas, has decided to retreat and head towards the official vehicles. that were waiting a few meters behind to withdraw. Mazón got into one of the cars and the queen did the same in another vehicle.
The king, who at first has come to sit in the vehicle, has come out again and has decided to return to approach the citizens. Amid shouts of “Bourbon, defend your nation”, Felipe VI has been surrounded by a team of bodyguards, civil guards and police that totaled about fifty troops and he pointed to the people he wanted to talk to. His chief of security made them pass inside the cordon so that they could unburden themselves. After an hour in which the monarch has tried to listen to these testimonies and calm all the tension lived in the square of Paiporta, he has finally left the place.
