"My life this week was a bit complicated, as I was afraid of hanging out on the street. I've seen violence of many forms. There is no rule of law in this city. They [the violent elements] would set up barricades, set fire and resort to violence every afternoon. I can see that the number of tourists is declining. I've chatted with my friends in the hotel and tourism businesses and they say that their businesses have been seriously affected. The violence has not only affected Barcelonians but also will ultimately affect Catalanians."

Storyline


Radical Catalan protesters have disrupted public order, damaged public property, threatened social security and caused huge economic losses during the past seven days of protest against the sentences handed down by the Supreme Court to Catalan separatist leaders for their roles in the illegal independence referendum held in the region in 2017.

According statistics released by the Spanish government, the violence has so far injured more than 600 people, including 288 police officers,with one seriously, and resulted in an estimated loss of 2.5 million euros in Barcelona alone. The police have arrested 194 rioters, with 104 handed up for trial and 28 put behind the bars on charges of damaging public order, deliberate injuries and attacking police.

The violence has seriously affected the daily life of local residents.

"My life this week was a bit complicated, as I was afraid of hanging out on the street. I've seen violence of many forms. There is no rule of law in this city. They [the violent elements] would set up barricades, set fire and resort to violence every afternoon. I can see that the number of tourists is declining. I've chatted with my friends in the hotel and tourism businesses and they say that their businesses have been seriously affected. The violence has not only affected Barcelonians but also will ultimately affect Catalanians," said Nacho, Barcelona resident.

Besides, a group of violent elements rioted in the city center of Madrid on Saturday night, injuring 26 people, including 11 police officers.

The Spanish government is firm in its attitude toward rioters. Acting Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez dismissed a call from Catalan leader Quim Torra for unconditional talks. The police have won extensive approval for strictly enforcing the law.

"I think the police have done very well, anyway. They are trying to safeguard peace and maintain public order [in Barcelona]," said Jere, local resident.
