The Spin

Narrative A

The anger of the people is understandable. Many lost homes, businesses, as well as the lives of loved ones. The government is listening and is doing all it can to help ease people's suffering.

Establishment-critical narrative

What did these leaders expect when they visited Paiporta? These floods have totally devastated the region and the government response has been completely inadequate.

Metaculus Prediction

There's a 2% chance that Spain will announce a snap general election before January 1, 2025, according to the Metaculus prediction community.
