The protests that took place last night in Madrid in solidarity with Ceuta resulted in disturbances that forced the intervention of security forces. During the confrontations, four people were detained by Spanish authorities.
Four National Police officers were injured during the incidents, with medical assistance being required for at least some of them. The authorities did not disclose the severity of the injuries of the officers.
The protests also reportedly involved aggression against journalists who were covering the events, according to reports mentioned in the news. The journalistic coverage of the events was thus also affected by the violence.
The protests, held in the Spanish capital, had as their central theme the situation in Ceuta, a Spanish enclave located in north Africa, whose migratory crisis has been generating political tensions between Spain and Morocco.
