In Valencia, thousands of people took to the streets on the weekend in protest against the political response to the deadly floods that killed at least 222 people in Spain.

People gathered in anger calling for the resignation of the regional president Carlos Mazón. He is under mounting pressure after it emerged he had a three-hour lunch with a journalist on Tuesday 29 October, the day the torrential rains hit the region, and did not arrive at the emergency command centre until 7.30 that evening.

If you live in Valencia, we would like to hear your experience of the protests. How do you feel about them? Did you take part? If so, what were your reasons for doing so? We’re also interested in hearing your view on the political response to the floods.
