The journalist and presenter Matias Prats has traveled to Valencia to report from there on the destruction left by the DANA in the province and In the middle of that work he met the entourage formed by the king and queen, Philip VI and Letiziaas well as the President of the Government, Pedro Sánchez.
It is worth remembering that this visit ended with the discontent of several groups of people, local residents and others coming from outsidewho rebuked Pedro Sanchez and they even attacked his car, also throwing mud and other objects at both the president and the monarchs.
Matias Prats counted on Public Mirror How was his meeting with the entourage and how he experienced that tumult. “Since the morning, we had chosen that area of Paiporta to do our work. We were collecting testimonies from citizens and neighbors. When we were leaving, it happened that we met the kings,” the journalist said.
“I knew I wasn’t going to have much luck, but I said: ‘I’ll try a first statement of what you’re seeing.‘. When he reached me, just a few meters from the square where the tumult is organized, I told him, what are you seeing, Your Majesty? What do you think?” Prats narrated, who however, as he had anticipated, did not obtain a statement.
Soon, violence broke out. “The first to be hit is the queen in the face. They come quickly to attend to her. That’s when some objects and some stones rain. The bodyguard continues with her while blood was flowing from the wound,” says Prats.
The escorts warned of the danger and the group of Pedro Sánchez left the areabefore the advice of the bodyguards, something that the kings did not do.
“The indignation grew and became a kind of mob. The crowd was very angry. The king did not heed the advice [de los miembros de seguridad]nor the queen. “He said he was moving forward.”
“He had the confidence and security that they would listen to him. He wanted to reach the town. He did not waver in his intention. He continued forward as best he could. Thanks to his 1.97 height, the figure of the king is never lost. He is surrounded and attends to all those who rebuke him. He wanted to listen to them, he wanted to reason. It was a very risky act, but I see it as positive,” said the Antena 3 presenter, who however added that “the visit was not well calculated” and that it would have been better to “test the waters.”
“The king has been understanding. There is a lot of pain, regret and frustration. We must understand them. There will be the gesture of the kings,” concluded Prats, who described the Dantesque scenario: “What a disaster, what a tragedy, what a calamity! They have lost Everything they had. Their houses have been without water, without electricity. It took a long time for help to arrive. They were surrounded by debris, with piled up cars.
