Barcelona riots: 128 arrested, 72 minors identified
Riots in central Barcelona on Saturday following a social media-called protest resulted in 128 arrests, including 72 minors, according to authorities. Catalan president Salvador Illa said on Sunday that organizers will be identified and "pay a price," while appealing to parents of minors for responsibility. The security operation involved 524 officers, with 14 police injured, 23 shops vandalized, and 31 containers burned. An investigation is underway to find those behind the unrest, which police chief Silvia Catà described as "quite inexplicable." Political reactions included PP leader Feijóo blaming the government, while Barcelona's mayor defended the police response and announced legal action over municipal damages.
