PAIPORTA: Spain’s king and queen cut short a visit to a flood-hit town on Sunday as an angry mob threw mud at them, according to AFP reporters at the scene.
King Felipe VI and Queen Letizia were attacked with mud on their faces and clothes as they tried to talk to angry locals who were shouting “murderers” and other insults at officials accompanying them to the badly-hit town of Paiporta.
The mob’s anger appeared to be directed mainly at Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez and Carlos Mazon, the head of the Valencia region.
