The protests against the arrest of rapper Pablo Hasél, for insults to the monarchy and glorification of terrorism, accentuated the fissures in the Spanish government. This Saturday, thousands returned to the streets of Barcelona and conflicts and destruction multiplied. Insults, thrown bottles and violence mark the fifth day of protests.
According to Guardia Urbana, cited by the Spanish newspaper The country, there are about 6 thousand people who at 20:15 were gathered in the central square of Barcelona and started the march through the city. The Barcelona stock exchange was vandalized, several stores looted and clashes between police and protesters over rapper Hasél intensified.
After four nights of riots in different Catalan cities, ERC asked the Department of the Interior to open an investigation to determine whether there were cases of negligence in the Mossos d’Esquadra body due to its actions in the protests taking place in Catalonia this week.
Also in Madrid, about 200 people also gathered to express their support for Hasél, asking through a banner to release him.
