Barcelona riot arrests: 56% of 128 detained were minors

A riot in central Barcelona on Saturday resulted in 128 arrests, with 56% being minors, after over 500 people vandalized property and looted 23 shops. The violence lasted four hours, leaving 14 police officers injured. The participants, described as "very young" and mostly aged 13-16, were mobilized via social media under the 'Blocus' tag, echoing recent French protests. Police say they were disorganized individuals, not criminal groups, though some had prior theft records. Authorities are investigating the organizers and the minors' profiles. The mayor announced the city will seek legal action and financial responsibility from the minors' parents for the damage.
