Some 130,000 in Valencia have demanded the resignation of the head of the local government

Clashes between protesters and police broke out in Valencia and Madrid during large-scale demonstrations on Saturday over Spanish authorities’ insufficient response to deadly floods that took place across Spain several weeks ago.

At least 220 people were killed and thousands of homes and businesses were destroyed when a rapid deluge caused by heavy rains inundated several towns in the province of Valencia in eastern Spain last month. Some 80 people are still missing as a result of what officials are calling one of Europe’s worst natural disasters in decades.

Around 130,000 demonstrators took to the streets of the city of Valencia to demand the resignation of Carlos Mazon, the head of the provincial government, El Pais newspaper reported.
