Large number of people have protested in Valencia against authorities’ handling of recent deadly floods, demanding the resignation of regional head, Carlos Mazón.
Spanish outlets, cited a government body as saying one hundred and thirty thousand people took to the streets on Saturday with protesters chanting we are stained with mud, you are stained with blood.
More than two hundred people died in the flooding, which was caused by torrential rain hitting Valencia and neighbouring provinces in October.
Eighty people are still missing.
Protesters have accused local authorities of issuing flood warnings far too late.
Angry protesters clashed with police towards the end of the demonstrations.
The city’s mayor, María José Catalá, posted pictures of broken windows and a video appearing to show a fire being started on social media, adding that vandalism is not the solution.
Valencia City Council condemned vandalism, saying the city had also been affected by the floods.
Last week the king and queen of Spain were pelted with mud and other objects by angry protesters during a visit to the town of Paiporta, one of the worst affected.
Objects were also thrown at Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez, who was quickly evacuated.
Thousands of people have lost their homes and streets in many areas are still covered in mud and debris.
