Summary
Amidst the devastation of the floods in Valencia, Spain, an outpouring of solidarity has emerged, with thousands of volunteers assisting in cleanup efforts. However, anger is growing over the slow response from authorities, with many residents feeling abandoned and criticizing the lack of adequate warning systems. The Spanish government has deployed additional troops and police to aid in relief efforts.
Spaniard here, citizens are really pissed at the government for not having deployed the army in time and in vast numbers… it truly is a shame how inefficiently politicians are managing the situation, they’re mostly focused on blaming each other and pointing fingers, surprising, isn’t it?
It’s something that should have a pre made plan that is just enacted. Disaster happens, declare emergency, kick it to the Bureau that oversees disaster response … which includes the military…
Yup, there’s an emergency response task force called UME which is supposed to do just that, but it’s proved to be insufficient and too little, too late
