Looting and arson in Barcelona, over 100 people arrested

A protest in Barcelona led to the arrest of around 100 people, mostly minors, following looting and arson. The unrest was reportedly inspired by demonstrations in France, with youth mobilizing through social media. They vandalized property, set fires, and clashed with police. Catalonia's regional president condemned the violence, emphasizing the right to protest but denouncing attacks and vandalism. Similar protests occurred across Europe, including in France and Italy, where demonstrators expressed discontent over rising living costs and government policies. In France, over 400,000 participated in protests, resulting in numerous arrests and confrontations with police.
