The Kings continue to remember all those affected by DANA. As promised, their commitment to the victims remains stronger than ever and they do not want the “constant attention of course” to wane, in the words of Queen Letizia. They don’t want to leave the neighbors alone and that’s why they’re going back to Valencia.
The royal family said that on Monday at 7 p.m., the monarchs will attend a funeral organized by the Archdiocese of Valencia for flood victims. The death toll from the extreme cold in late October has reached more than 200 and a path of desolation and destruction between Valencian communities and towns in Castilla-La Mancha, flooding infrastructure and causing significant material damage.
This is the third time that Don Felipe and Doña Letizia have decorated Valencia together, and the fourth time for the King. Their first trip in early November was marked by shocking images of the excitement and anger of the residents of Paiporta, where the kings were smeared with mud and tried to calm the spirits of a completely devastated population. “We need to understand the anger and frustration of many people because of how badly they are going through it,” Sovereign said at a meeting held at the Integrated Operational Coordination Center after the storm passed ‘ground zero’.
Changes in their official agenda

A few days later, Don Felipe went to the headquarters of the Jaime I military base in the Valencian city of Betera, to learn how the units of the three armies and the military emergency unit were working. is going
On 19 November, the kings fulfilled their promise to visit Chiva, Utiel and Letur (Albacete), which had been put on hold for security reasons after what happened at Piporta. They are greeted with applause, cheers and many gestures of affection. During her visit, the Queen graciously joined journalist Carlos Alcina on her Onda Ciro program and asked him what message they wanted to convey: “Listen, be, share, be with them… Continue to stay focused, that Focus should be persistent and not rejected.” “Thank you and all the media for what you are doing,” he concluded.
