"Sánchez, pay attention, Spain defends itself" and "Puigdemont to prison" are some of the slogans chanted by the protesters gathered in Madrid's Plaza de Cibeles. They assure that they have not been summoned by any party or organization, but rather by WhatsApp messages and through social networks.

They demand that the acting Executive chaired by Pedro Sánchez does not respond to the demands of the former president of the Generalitat, Carles Puigdemont, to approve an amnesty law to begin negotiating an investiture of Government in Spain and they demand that the Catalan leader be imprisoned.

Morocco, an action that Mayor Jaume Collboni sees as "inadmissible."

An anti-sovereignty platform had called for this Sunday rallies in the Catalan and Spanish town halls to protest a possible negotiation of an amnesty law between the Government and the pro-independence parties.

This concentration coincided with the minute of silence that Barcelona City Council had called in tribute to the victims of the earthquake and in solidarity with families and the injured.
