Summary

King Felipe VI of Spain faced a hostile crowd in Valencia, where unprecedented floods have devastated communities, leaving over 200 dead and many missing. Footage shows protesters shouting “murderer” and “shame” at the king, with some throwing objects and mud as he walked through the affected area of Paiporta.

    Your ignorance is overwhelming

    Have you ever been to Spain? It is one of the most livable countries in Europe. Madrid has become the most desirable capital city in Western Europe in the last few years. The road and rail networks are superior to most developed countries. The healthcare system works better than almost any country you can point at. Its banks, construction companies, universities are some of the best and largest in the world.

    How is Spain backwards?

    Disclaimer: I am not, nor have I ever been, Spanish

      They raped, murdered and pillaged my ancestors and up until the but very distant past. So pardon me for holding a grudge

        Much more recently, Germans put a bunch of my ancestors in ovens. I don’t hold a grudge with the ones who had nothing to do with it (i.e. almost every German alive today).

        Yeah man, my ancestors were raped, murdered, and tortured by a European country in the XX’th century.

        I don’t hold this generation accountable for the crimes of their forefathers.

        Move on
