The vandals of Barcelona: "radical anarchists" and "criminals"

Recent riots in Barcelona following a general strike have led to the arrest of 52 individuals, predominantly adults, with only 6 minors detained. Authorities have labeled the rioters as radical anarchists, emphasizing their violent tactics, including the use of fire and powerful fireworks against police. The Interior Minister described them as 'violent' and 'aggressive,' while the police chief identified them as part of antisystem movements aiming to create chaos. The average age of those arrested is 24, with a significant male majority. Approximately 500 individuals were involved in the disturbances, with the Generalitat president noting the infiltration of radical groups into protests to commit crimes.
