What's happening

On 24 October 2026, dozens of students and hooded activists gathered in Plaza Catalunya in Barcelona in a protest called via social media under the 'Instituts Indignats' banner, which turned into clashes and riots with the Mossos d'Esquadra. Rioters caused property damage, burned rubbish bins, and looted at least one technology store, prompting police charges and the closure of access roads and nearby shops.
