(From L) Spanish opposition leader Alberto Nunez Feijoo, Spain's Minister of Science and Innovation Diana Morant, Spain's Minister of Territorial Policy Angel Victor Torres, Spain's Minister of Budget Maria Jesus Montero and Valencian Regional President Carlos Mazon attend a funeral mass held on December 9, 2024 at the Cathedral of Valencia in memory of the victims of the deadly floods that devastaded the region in late October. The beleaguered leader of Spain's flood-hit Valencia region could be nearing an agonising demise after providing conflicting accounts about his role in the disaster and as legal troubles loom. Carlos Mazon has weathered fierce scrutiny since the October 29 catastrophe that killed 232 people, almost all in the eastern Valencia region, in the European country's deadliest floods in decades.
