At least 39 people suffered injuries after clashes broke out between demonstrators and police during a protest in Madrid against a potential amnesty for supporters of Catalan independence.
The protest started late on November 7 outside the headquarters of the Spanish Socialist Workers' Party (Partido Socialista Obrero Espanol, or PSOE), led by acting Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez.
As part of negotiations to form a new government, he expressed support for an initiative to offer amnesty to Catalan separatists in a bid to win support for the PSOE from pro-independence Catalan parties.
According to an RTVE broadcast, police began dispersing the demonstrators close to midnight. During the ensuing riot, around 39 people were injured, 29 of whom were law enforcement officers. According to the authorities, six people were detained.
