Barcelona Hit by Mass Looting and Riots in Expanding Wave of European Unrest

World13 hours ago

Masked protesters set fire to vehicles and barricades and looted shops in central Barcelona on Oct 24, prompting charges from Mossos riot police. Authorities shut down access to Plaça Catalunya as business owners shuttered their stores, and the Corte Inglés shopping mall locked customers inside to block looters from storming the building.

The unrest, which was organized via social media, follows reported instances of mass looting in France, Belgium, and Italy within the past week. While some reports identified the participants as young second-generation migrants from North Africa, other accounts stated the unrest was a student protest inspired by similar riots in France.
