It’s too early to point the finger over deadly floods in Valencia, as tens of thousands protest a government response they see as inadequate, Spain’s finance minister Carlos Cuerpo told Euronews in an exclusive interview that we feature on Radio Schuman today.

Spain will do “whatever it takes” to help those afflicted by devastating floods, but it’s too early to start assigning blame, Cuerpo said.

The deadly flooding in Valencia has claimed hundreds of lives, and led tens of thousands of protestors to take to the streets and call for the resignation of regional president Carlos Mazón. 

Cuerpo visited Brussels to request EU funding for reconstruction, particularly from agricultural and cohesion funds.

In a packed agenda today, in Germany Chancellor Olaf Scholz will address parliament with an election date now foreseen, while in Brussels both diplomats and the European Parliament have the US election outcome to chew over.
