The unauthorized demonstration has brought together dozens of people who have hindered traffic on one of the main routes into and out of Barcelona
Dozens of people have demonstrated again this sunday night on the avenue Meridian of Barcelona and have cut off traffic despite the fact that the Department of the Interior has not authorized the protest. The independentistas repeat, although with a smaller participation, the concentration that on Saturday already occupied this Barcelona artery.
The Generalitat had proposed to put an end to these cuts, which have occurred practically every day since 2019, but the Mossos could not prevent it last night despite deploying an important device. With a less police presence this Sundaythe agents have informed those attending the protest that the act was not authorized.
The ANC and the Meridiana Resisteix collective had called the independentists through social networks to cut the Meridiana again today.
Since Saturday, the Generalitat only authorizes the pro-independence rally – which has been maintained since the sentence to the dome of the procés in October 2019 – in a nearby square to prevent traffic from being cut off on one of the main access and exit routes from Barcelona .
The irreducible of the Meridiana already warned that they planned to continue with their protests in the street, despite the criticism they have received from neighbors and merchants in the area. The demonstration took place without incident.
