Incidents, with police charges, are underway in the central Puerta del Sol in Madrid, where hundreds of people were demonstrating to demand the release of rapper Pablo Hasel, in prison since yesterday after being sentenced for some tweets against the monarchy and the police . A similar demonstration is also underway in Barcelona, where in accidents that broke out last night a woman would have lost an eye due to a rubber bullet fired by the police, writes La Vanguardia, citing hospital sources. According to the Spanish media, some demonstrators, after a peaceful start to the protest in Madrid with chants and slogans, tried to smash shop windows on the square. Then there were assaults on the forces of the Policia Nacional. The demonstration was not authorized due to a pandemic. Even in Barcelona, in the evening, there were incidents, with objects being thrown at the police and bins set on fire. In the Catalan capital, the clashes on Tuesday evening resulted in around 30 injuries and the arrest of 15 people.
