The network that called for the riots in Barcelona has ramifications in 11 autonomous communities

A network called Blocus, linked to disturbances in Barcelona, has connections across 11 autonomous communities in Spain. Originating from Madrid on October 8, it promotes protests through social media, particularly TikTok, using social and student grievances as pretexts. The group has organized events in multiple cities, with plans for further actions post-general elections. Despite initial failures, it quickly adapted, creating new accounts to coordinate activities and disseminate instructions for violent actions. The report indicates that Blocus operates through disposable accounts and lacks a formal structure, raising concerns about potential violence and retaliatory actions against immigrants.
