Spain braces for new storms amid protest over flood failures

Amid fresh weather warnings, local media reported that King Felipe VI would soon return to the site of the flash floods, after he was pelted with mud and eggs on his first visit last week following local fury at the poor preparation and response of the authorities.

More than 100,000 protesters took to the streets at the weekend and there have been calls for the resignations of rightwing local government leaders, who ignored warnings and blocked measures to address the growing risks posed by human-caused climate disruption. A further protest was held in Barcelona yesterday.

Eight Spanish communities were once again put on alert yesterday for heavy rain, high waves, and strong winds in the Balearic Islands, Catalonia and Valencia, just two weeks after the downpours in which at least 214 people died.
