These floods have led to the death of 229 people and caused significant damage in the suburbs of southern Valencia. Mazon stated that he can no longer continue in this position, highlighting the government's inadequate response to the crisis. Residents in the affected areas accused the regional government of delaying the issuance of flood alerts, and a survey showed that 75% of citizens believed that his resignation was necessary. Additionally, his resignation coincides with a judicial investigation into the authorities' responsibility for the deaths caused by the floods.
