Protesters call on Valencia governor to resign after deadly floods

Huge numbers of people have protested in Valencia against authorities' handling of recent deadly floods, demanding the resignation of regional head Carlos Mazón.

Spanish outlets, including news agency Efe, cited a government body as saying 130,000 people took to the streets on Saturday - with protesters chanting "we are stained with mud, you are stained with blood".

More than 200 people died in the flooding, which was caused by torrential rain hitting Valencia and neighbouring provinces in October. Eighty people are still missing.
