Troubles at the end of the protest
from dispatched


During the protest a group of protesters started to throw objects at the police; the police responded with smoke bombs and by charging, dispersing the protesters from the Plaça de Colon towards the avenue Paral-lel. There are groups of people provoking disturbances in the Plaça Colon. People have proceeded up Paral-lel running and at this moment all paral-lel is occupied by police vans, above all the Plaça Espanya and the other end and they continue to go up and down. Plaça Espanya is an important location because there the people intend to go to the concert. The places with the greatest concentration of police are ramblas, plaça espanya, paral-lel and colon. At this time, the police are charging in the Rambla.
