At least five Spanish protestors were injured and seven others arrested on Saturday in Barcelona during demonstrations, according to local police.
Gathering against the far-right Vox Party’s demonstration under the title of “Spain for Catalonia,” some anti-fascist and separatist Catalan groups took to the streets and clashed with the police, which tried to disperse them.
Meanwhile, Vox leader Santiago Abascal has pledged that if his party won the snap elections on April 28, they will freeze the autonomous Catalonia administration and link it to the central government, annul the Catalan police force (Mossos d’Esquadra) and apply to prosecutors for arrest of Catalan President Quim Torra.
Around 5,000 Vox members attended the demonstration in Barcelona, which is among the cities where the Vox is weak.
