Some days ago the police in Barcelona cleared the protesters out of the Plaza de Catalunya with batons and rubber bullets. The gathering depicted below was in response to that act of state violence. I'm not very good with Spanish and I know nothing of Catalan, but I was able to understand some of the chants. They begin with "Mad? Now more than ever."
The pretext for the police assault was to clear the streets so the sweeper trucks could get by. The protesters said something to the effect that they would clear the streets of police. Another chant said that it was the police department that needed cleaning.
