Just a few minutes ago, Belén Esteban uploaded a story to her official Instagram account in which she sends an emotional message to the Valencian people and in which she asks politicians to help people who have lost everything. ''All my support to the victims of Valencia, I hope that the Generalitat, Administration and especially the GOVERNMENT do not forget about them (which is what usually happens). My heart goes out to the victims and those affected,' said Jorge Javier Vázquez's friend while publishing the flag of the Valencian Community.
