Overview
- A joint Mossos–Guardia Urbana operation on Saturday sealed Plaça Catalunya, Passeig de Gràcia and Arc de Triomf with more than 700 officers to deter planned Blocus gatherings.
- Police identified around 1,100–1,440 people during the operation, seized dozens of items such as balaclavas and cutting tools, and made a small number of arrests while no major incidents occurred by midnight.
- Authorities reported the detention of a 21-year-old in Cabrera d'Anoia accused of administering a Blocus communications channel and at least one minor has been placed under juvenile judicial control.
- Exceptional logistics were used to speed processing on the street, including transport filters into the city, removal of street containers and a temporary detainee reception point on Pau Claris to avoid earlier bottlenecks.
- Security measures were echoed in Madrid, València and other cities, businesses boarded up windows, and investigators continue probing social-media channels with more summonses and judicial actions expected.
