Queen Letizia resumes her agenda after visiting Paiporta focused on social work at ground zero

Queen Letizia has resumed her agenda after the tense visit to Papiorta on Sunday where we saw her with tears in her eyes, broken with pain and consoling the neighbors who have lost everything in the devastating DANA that has hit the southeast of the peninsula and that It has left more than 200 dead and dozens missing. After passing through ground zero of the catastrophe, the Kings modified their commitments to give priorities to everything related to the floods.

The Queen held a working meeting with national social entities that are working to help the victims in various areas. Thus, at the Zarzuela Palace, representatives of the Red Cross, the Spanish Association Against Cancer, the Spanish Federation of Rare Diseases, ONCE, the Mental Health Confederation and the Spanish Committee of Representatives of People with Disabilities, who are working to help those affected.

With all these organizations, Mrs. Letizia regularly holds meetings throughout the year and in these moments of so much pain and difficulties she wanted to know how the most vulnerable groups are coping with the tragedy.

One day before, the King received at the Zarzuela to representatives of business, insurance and financial confederations, as well as the main union organizations. On Monday, Don Felipe, after visiting Paiporta, presided the DANA follow-up crisis committee meeting at the Headquarters of the Military Emergency Unit at the Torrejón de Ardoz Air Base (Madrid).

The visit of the Kings to Paiporta It did not go as expected and the anguish, desolation and indignation of the neighbors was more than reflected. Tired, the inhabitants rebuked the authorities who were part of the delegation in which Don Felipe and Doña Letizia were. In a few minutes, the victims began to throw mud and all kinds of objects at them, but far from leaving the place they stayed to try to calm spirits and give comfort to a totally despondent people. “How can they not feel that way. How can they not be angry,” said Doña Letizia with tears in her eyes.
