Police stop protesters advancing towards the stock exchange
As demonstrators moved through central Barcelona, police stopped them from advancing towards the stock exchange.
Preventing the march from reaching the Barcelona Stock Exchange was the main development in the protest before clashes broke out in the city centre. The demonstration focused on the housing issue, which prompted participants to organise the mass protest.
