The Spanish police throw rubber and gas balls in their attempt to contain the independence protesters in Barcelona. The young radicals throw bottles, stones and burn the barricades. Several marches of thousands of followers of Catalan separatism generated the almost total collapse of the city. Throughout the day, the region of Catalonia has experienced cuts on highways, roads and railways as part of a general strike called by unions related to secessionism.
