[#NationalDayOfCatalonia]() [#Barcelona]() [#MossosDEsquadra]() # Eight arrested after Barcelona Diada clashes 12 September 2026 at 09:41 > Police arrested eight people for public disorder after violent confrontations and arson during Catalonia's national day in Barcelona. Eight people have been arrested for public disorder offences following violent clashes during the Diada Nacional de Cataluña in **Barcelona**. The **Mossos d'Esquadra** reported that incidents intensified from 8:00 PM as protesters burned containers and threw objects. The unrest began near Plaza Mossèn Jacint Verdaguer, where 1,500 people gathered. Tensions rose as 1,000 antifascist protesters, called by the Organización Juvenil Socialista, attempted to breach police lines protecting a Núcleo Nacional demonstration nearby. Riot police deployed batons to prevent direct confrontation between neo-Nazi and antifascist groups. These charges were necessary to protect officers and allow the Barcelona Fire Department to extinguish blazes set along Paseo de Sant Joan and Ronda de Sant Pere. ## Related news [#Spain]() #Blocus [#Madrid]() [#Barcelona]() [#Security]() 30 October 2026 at 15:19 ## [Spain deploys police to counter urban sabotage]() > Authorities launch a major security operation in Madrid and Barcelona following 130 arrests linked to 'Blocus' urban sabotage calls. #Euthanasia [#Barcelona]() #RightToDie [#Catalonia]() #EndOfLifeCare 19 October 2026 at 18:23 ## [Barcelona court clears path for man's euthanasia]() > Legal proceedings halting the euthanasia of Francesc Augé have been archived after his father withdrew his challenge in a Barcelona court. #Albiol [#PartidoPopular]() [#Barcelona]() [#GeneralElections]() #Badalona 17 October 2026 at 17:18 ## [Albiol to lead PP Barcelona list for elections]() > Xavier García Albiol will lead the Partido Popular's Barcelona list for the general elections on 29 November, the party confirmed.
