What is 'Blocus'? The label on social media that sparked the riots in Barcelona

The term 'Blocus', meaning blockade in French, has emerged on social media to mobilize youth protests in Barcelona, inspired by similar movements in France. This label was used to organize a demonstration against public education issues, which escalated into looting and vandalism, resulting in significant property damage. Investigations are underway to identify the anonymous TikTok profiles behind the calls for protest. While 'Blocus' has been linked to protests in other European countries, its specific meaning remains ambiguous. Authorities have arrested numerous individuals involved in the disturbances, with many having prior criminal records.
