King Felipe VI and Queen Letizia returned to visit towns affected by the DANA, marking their third visit to the Community since the tragedy on the 29th. Their eventful visit to Paiporta on November 3rd had seen a change in plans, missing out one town initially intended for the visit.
The monarchs have already visited many areas in Chiva, engaging with residents and authorities. Today, they were warmly welcomed in Utiel, their second stop. In Chiva, they were greeted with applause, while President Carlos Mazón faced shouts of “shameless, Mazón, resign.”
King Felipe and Queen Letizia interacted with the residents throughout the visit, accompanied by the Minister of Territorial Policy, Ángel Víctor Torres, President Mazón, and Government delegate Pilar Bernabé. In an interview with Onda Cero journalist Carlos Alsina, Queen Letizia expressed their commitment to listening and continuing to pay attention to the affected areas.
Utiel, another town severely impacted by the disaster, is still struggling with recovery. Later, the King and Queen planned to visit Letur in Albacete, where the DANA resulted in six fatalities.
