MADRID, 3 Nov. (EUROPA PRESS) –
A person has been arrested for trying to jump the police cordon deployed on Ferraz Street in Madrid, where the national headquarters of the PSOE is located, during the concentration this Friday afternoon to protest the agreement of the socialists with ERC and the future amnesty law for the investiture of the candidate for the Presidency of the Government, Pedro Sánchez.
Sources from the Government Delegation have told Europa Press that the Police asked this rally attendee for documentation three times after jumping the police cordon and, upon his refusal, he was detained.
Around a thousand people have protested in a call that emerged on social networks and that ended shortly after 9:00 p.m. Supported by organizations against Catalan nationalism such as ‘Dolça Cataluña’, the call brought together a group of protesters carrying flags of Spain, some of Catalonia and with shouts such as ‘Pedro Sánchez to prison’ or ‘Spain is one and not 51’. Pots and pans and whistles have been heard against the acting head of the Executive and the former Catalan president Carles Puigdemont.
The National Police have cordoned off the area and have cut off Ferraz Street at Buen Suceso, a few meters from the PSOE headquarters. Sources from the Government Delegation in Madrid have explained that agents from the Police Intervention Unit (UIP), known as riot police, have been deployed to guarantee security in the central street in the face of a concentration that was not reported.
