"Get out! Get out!" and "Murderers!" were among the insults heard from the crowd. Bodyguards held up umbrellas to protect the royals and government officials from flying mud, and mounted police had to intervene to restore order. The king, with dirt on his face, attempted to calmly communicate with individual residents. One man appeared to cry on his shoulder, after which the monarch shook the man's hand. One of the residents complained to the Queen about the lack of water. The article notes that in Paiport, with a population of about 30 thousand people, some of the blocks are still filled with garbage, broken cars and dirt. As reported by the Regnum news agency, storm Dana hit Spain on October 29. The heaviest rainfalls occurred in Valencia, Castilla-La Mancha and Andalusia. The Spanish National Meteorological Service called the level of precipitation "extraordinary". On October 31, the country declared three days of official mourning in connection with the loss of life as a result of the massive flooding that hit the country. As of November 2, 211 victims of the cataclysm are known. Russia expressed condolences to the Spanish people who suffered from the massive flooding. World Weather Attribution, an organization that studies the impact of climate change on extreme weather events, linked the scale of the floods to fossil fuel emissions warming the planet. It was the largest in 30 years. | ||
