Police Charge Protesters In Barcelona As Gaza Flotilla March Ends In Clashes

In Barcelona, Spain, on October 15, 2025, clashes break out in Placa de Sants during a general strike and protest in solidarity with Gaza. Groups of protesters throw objects and set fire to rubbish containers, while Mossos d'Esquadra riot police charge to disperse the crowd. Several shop windows are vandalized, and at least 15 people, including minors, are detained. The demonstration, called by pro-Palestinian and union groups, begins peacefully earlier in the day before escalating into violent confrontations. (Photo by Charlie Perez/NurPhoto)
