Authorities in Valencia have ruled out any imminent resignations from the regional government
00:07
as anger continues to grow over the response to catastrophic flooding.
00:12
Thousands of people staged a protest on Saturday night accusing the regional government of
00:17
sending out public warnings about the dangers of the flooding too slowly.
00:22
A group of protesters demanding the resignation of regional president Carlos Mazón clashed
00:27
with riot police in front of the city hall.
00:30
The EFE news agency said at least 31 police officers were injured in the violence.
00:36
But the region's vice president said no one would be stepping down as to do so would be
00:41
a betrayal of the victims.
00:43
At least 222 people have been killed in Spain's worst natural disaster in decades.
00:50
The flooding started after torrential rain lashed the eastern region of Valencia on 29
00:55
October, with some areas receiving a year's worth of rain in just eight hours.
01:00
The central government in Madrid has mobilized thousands of troops and police officers to
01:05
help with relief and clean-up operations.
01:07
And thousands of ordinary citizens have also stepped up to help, with no definite estimate
01:12
as to exactly how many have come forward.
01:15
The full extent of the damage is unknown, but Spain's Consortium for Insurance Compensation
01:21
estimates that it will pay out at least 3.5 billion euros in compensation.
