The protests on Tuesday night in front of the national headquarters of the PSOE on Ferraz Street in Madrid have resulted in seven detainees and 30 National Police officers injured to varying degrees, sources from the Ministry of the Interior have indicated.

According to the final balance, the seven arrested are all Spanish: five men and a woman between the ages of 19 and 44, in addition to a minor, 17 years old.

Interior sources have indicated that last night the riot police did use rubber balls to dissuade protesters with a violent attitude, in addition to using smoke canisters and tear gas again, as the day before.

More than 7,000 people gathered around the PSOE headquarters in a new night of protests that ended around 11:30 p.m. and in which a strong police force was deployed.

Faced with the armor provided by the Police Intervention Units (UIP) around Ferraz Street, a group of protesters directed their protests against the pacts between the PSOE and the Catalan independentists towards Gran Vía in Madrid and the Congress of Deputies. . Later, the same group returned and joined the bulk of the protests at the initial point.

At around 11:30 p.m., the riot police were able to control the most agitated sectors and disperse the concentration, which left Ferraz Street and its surroundings deteriorated by riots.
