Stores in various Spanish cities protect windows against the threat of possible disturbances

Retailers in several Spanish cities are taking precautions against potential disturbances linked to the Blocus platform. On October 31, shops in Madrid, Bilbao, Barcelona, and Valencia are reinforcing their windows due to fears of riots similar to those that occurred on October 24 in Barcelona, resulting in numerous arrests. Authorities have detained individuals inciting looting and promoting protests with weapons. In Madrid's luxury shopping district, stores like Prada and Loewe are preparing for possible attacks. The Mossos d'Esquadra in Barcelona are on high alert for a new Blocus call, while the U.S. embassy advises Americans to avoid gatherings due to potential vandalism.
