Spain regional leader resigns after floods

Cape Argus

November 04, 2025

THE heavily criticised leader of Spain's Valencia region said yesterday he was stepping down, a year after the area was hit by floods in the country's deadliest natural disaster in a generation.

"The reality is that today I am the focus of criticism, noise, hatred, and tension," Carlos Mazon said in an address, adding: "I can't go on anymore."

Mazon has faced fierce scrutiny over his handling of the October 29, 2024 catastrophe that killed more than 230 people, but has consistently rebuffed calls for his resignation.
