Protests and police action reported in Madrid and A Coruña

In Madrid, the Puerta del Sol has become a focal point for various left-wing collectives, including anarchist groups and Palestinian support organizations. Following the departure of the tenants' union, approximately thirty different groups have occupied the public space, exercising their right to assembly. This occupation has led to concerns regarding heritage damage, hygiene, and impacts on local commerce and public transport in the city center.

In A Coruña, police forces conducted charges to disperse an ‘antifascist’ demonstration in the María Pita square. The National Police cordoned off parts of the plaza to clear protesters gathered near the Municipal Palace, resulting in some injuries among the demonstrators.
