"The reality is that today I am the focus of criticism, noise, hatred, and tension,"
"I can't go on anymore,"
Carlos Mazon resigned as Valencia's regional leader following intense criticism over the response to catastrophic floods that struck on October 29, 2024. The torrential rains killed 229 people and caused billions of euros in damage, with severe impact in the southern suburbs of Valencia. The resignation came amid public anger, protests, and accusations about emergency preparedness and recovery efforts. In a televised address, he acknowledged becoming the focus of criticism, noise, hatred, and tension and said he could not continue. The departure creates an immediate leadership vacuum and increases scrutiny on regional disaster management and future recovery and rebuilding plans.
