La protesta por la crisis de la vivienda acaba con incidentes y cargas policiales en el centro de Barcelona

El Pais reports that a protest in Barcelona over the housing crisis has escalated into incidents and confrontations with police in the city center. Initially, the demonstration aimed to draw attention to the housing issue, but as it proceeded, some participants began throwing objects at the police and setting fire to containers.

Despite the march being called off around 21:30, many protesters remained and continued to throw glass bottles, paving stones, and other objects at the police. By 22:15, the police intervened, using megaphones to order the protesters to leave the area. Around this time, the police made several arrests and managed to extinguish the fires.
