Overview
- Quiles arrived about an hour late, appeared near the Faculty of Veterinary rather than the announced Civic Square location, spoke briefly, and departed by car.
- Riot units of the Mossos d'Esquadra separated opposing groups multiple times and used batons after objects such as eggs and tomatoes were thrown.
- Supporters included members of the constitutionalist group S'ha acabat!, while opponents were independentist and antifascist students gathered on campus.
- The university says it emailed Quiles instructing him to abstain from any activity without explicit authorization and requested proof of any permit.
- S'ha acabat! says it sought permission for the activity, while UAB says only a request to publicize the association was filed and that no slot was granted, with a separate black-clad group carrying Palestinian flags and smoke canisters adding to the disorder.
