Blocus, the anonymous platform that encouraged violent protest and that the Mossos are already investigating

The anonymous platform Blocus, which incited violent protests in Barcelona, is under investigation by the Mossos d'Esquadra. Originating on TikTok, it encouraged participants to dress in black and use fireworks. The protests aimed to replicate the French student movements, demanding better educational resources. The police are analyzing social media profiles linked to the protests, which resulted in 128 arrests, including many minors. Blocus has since deleted its TikTok account. The protests also had some impact in Madrid but did not escalate to the same level of violence. Local housing activists distanced themselves from the unrest, actively preventing disturbances in their area.
