    Apparently they were primarily mad at the politicians, not the royals.

    Prime Minister Sánchez and the head of Valencian regional government, Carlos Mazón, joined the royal couple on the visit, but were swiftly evacuated as the crowd grew increasingly hostile.

    Spanish media reports that objects were hurled at Sánchez, while footage verified by the BBC appears to show stones being thrown at his car as he was driven away.

    After he left, the crowd chanted: “Where is Sánchez?”

      So fucking funny that they chanted against Sanchez when it was their right wing regional party who had a horrendous management of not closing businesses and having tons of people killed. Carlos Mazón is the one who abandoned them, not Sanchez.

      For Americans, this is just like Texans that chanted against Biden when Ted Cruz fucking fled with the weather issue they had some time ago.

        They chanted against Mazón too: “¡Mazón dimisión!”. It’s the fault of both Sanchez and Mazón. Both regional and national politics have failed. And the royals are useless; they take a large chunk of money from our taxes and then serve no purpose. It’s normal for people to get angry with them.
