Thirty police officers injured in demonstrations following deadly floods in Valencia

valencia - Thirty police officers were injured and three people were arrested during protests in the Spanish city of Valencia, as reported by local media.

Thousands of people demanded the resignation of the region's president, Carlos Mazón, in Valencia on Saturday night. They hold him accountable for the slow response to the deadly floods that hit the area at the end of October, claiming the lives of at least 220 people. The local authorities estimated that around 130,000 people participated in the demonstration.

The protest started peacefully, but there were brief disturbances at the entrance of the city hall. Police intervened when fireworks were shot at the building, forming a barrier at the doors to prevent protesters from entering. Towards the end of the demonstration, more altercations occurred between the police and the demonstrators, with the latter throwing chairs and mud.
