Left-wing demonstrators gathered in Manresa on Friday afternoon, initially protesting at a Sant Jordi stall operated by Aliança Catalana. The protest then moved to a Junts per Manresa stall, according to local reports.
Local Police and Mossos d'Esquadra officers heavily protected the Junts stall in Manresa. The initial protest at the Aliança Catalana stall, located on Manresa's promenade, saw a strong police presence, which led the demonstrators to relocate.
Sant Jordi's Day, celebrated on 23 April, is a significant cultural event in Catalonia, where books and roses are exchanged. Political parties often set up stalls to engage with the public during these celebrations.
Authorities have not reported any arrests or significant incidents related to the protests. The situation remained under police control throughout the afternoon.
