police officers police at times used
batons and shields to push back angry
crowds thankfully no injuries were
reported now the protests were a
response to recent flooding in Spain the
worst natural disaster the region has
seen in decades it started last month

the region in less than eight hours the
powerful floods that rushed through the
area swept away cars destroying roads

were killed and more than 70 people are
still missing critics say the
government's response was too slow to
save save lives and they want
accountability from mazone he claims he
was not warned early enough about the
extreme weather by Central authorities

alert for heavy rain about 12 hours
before the regional government sent out
a text Alert warning people to shelter
in place but by then many residents say
the water was already at their
doors locals say they're frustrated by
what they say has been a slow and
uncoordinated response by the government

deployed to clear debris guard against
looters and search for the
missing divers scouring River bottoms
for bodies but many of the troops have
only arrived in the past week too little
too late for a disaster many people say
