0

Spain’s Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez arrived for the government’s cabinet meeting held in Barcelona amid protests and roadblocks throughout the region by pro-independence groups who reject the unusual decision to hold the weekly meeting in the Catalan capital.

A 600-strong police contingent was deployed to Barcelona to prevent possible flares of violence despite calls by jailed separatist leaders on Thursday to keep the protests peaceful.
