This is how the "attack" on Barcelona was organized and executed: "recruitment" through Tik Tok, instructions on Whatsapp channels, and the suspicion of foreign interference

On Saturday, Barcelona experienced significant unrest, leading to 128 arrests, including 72 minors. The protests were organized via TikTok by a group called Blocus, which aimed to emulate recent disturbances in France. Participants were instructed on how to dress and prepare for the protests, including using QR codes to join private messaging groups. The police identified around 450 individuals before the violence escalated, which included looting and attacks on officers. Authorities suspect potential external interference in the organization of these events, raising concerns about hybrid warfare tactics. Investigations are ongoing to uncover the identities behind the protests and prevent future incidents.
