The Spanish city of Valencia has experienced a wave of large-scale protests, with thousands of citizens taking to the streets to demand accountability from the regional government for its poor management of the response to the devastating floods that struck the area in October.

The demonstrations escalated into violent clashes between protesters and police, who used tear gas to disperse the crowds. Protesters expressed their frustration over the failures that exacerbated the damage, emphasizing the need for a transparent investigation into the causes of the disaster.
