00:00Before watching the video, I remind you that there is more content on the hotline website.
00:05The third largest city in Spain, Palencia,
00:08suffered the most severe floods in decades last month,
00:11causing more than 230 deaths.
00:14Now the public is pointing the finger at the Palencia Autonomous Region.
00:17The government did not anticipate the floods would break out earlier.
00:21According to the Palencia Meteorological Bureau,
00:23the authorities had already issued a warning five days before the floods.
00:28However, the local government delayed its actions in response to the floods.
00:32It only issued a warning to the public a few hours after the floods.
00:37In response to the public's anger,
00:39the leader of the Palencia Autonomous Region,
00:41Ma Song, said on local television that
00:44the most important thing now is to continue cleaning the streets
00:47and helping the people rebuild the disaster area.
00:49In the future, there will be time to investigate the officials' responsibilities.
00:53But the local people have long been impatient.
00:56Yesterday, 130,000 people flocked to the local city hall to protest.
01:00They demanded that Ma Song take responsibility for the disaster relief and resign as soon as possible.
01:06Pull up the cloth and raise the sign.
01:08Hundreds of thousands of demonstrators began to take to the streets on Saturday night.
01:12They surrounded the Palencia City Hall in Spain
01:15to protest against the local government and the leader of the Autonomous Region, Ma Song,
01:18who was not handling the floods well and caused heavy casualties.
01:22At the first moment, the president was gone.
01:26When it was necessary for him to be in charge of all this,
01:31he said that he was totally incompetent.
01:34This demonstration lasted from day to night.
01:36The demonstrators' emotions were getting worse and worse.
01:39They kept shouting,
01:40Murderer! Murderer!
01:43They asked Ma Song to resign.
01:45Not only that, some angry demonstrators
01:47used mud-stained hands
01:49to leave handprints on the walls of the city hall building to express their dissatisfaction.
01:53During the demonstration, there was also a police conflict.
01:56The demonstrators and the police began to confront each other.
01:59Gradually, they began to push each other.
02:01Some demonstrators even threw chairs at the police.
02:04The scene was very chaotic.
02:05In order to control the situation,
02:07the police began to disperse the demonstrators with police sticks
02:10and subdue and arrest the demonstrators who caused the chaos.
