Youth from the riots in Barcelona: "We were bored at home"

On a Saturday afternoon in Barcelona, hundreds of young people gathered in the city center, leading to disturbances and property damage. The event, organized via social media, saw mostly minors engaging in chaotic behavior, including setting fires and vandalizing property. Many participants expressed boredom and a desire for excitement rather than political protest. As tensions escalated, police intervened, but the youth continued to act out, seemingly inspired by similar events in France. The scene was marked by a mix of celebration and destruction, with some youths filming their actions for social media. Ultimately, the disturbances reflected a deeper sense of disillusionment among the youth.
