Miguel, an unemployed architect from Barcelona, told Britain’s Channel 4 News that plain-clothes policemen were attacking those camped out in the city’s Plaza de Catalunya.
“They are wearing normal clothes, often dressed like many of the protesters, with protest slogans on their t-shirts, and break the tents up, waking people up and dragging them out of the square.
“Some of the people have said they were hit with batons when they refused to move.”
Real Democracy Now, the protest organisers, have said that in Madrid, State Security Forces acted “excessively.”
In a statement, the group said, “We condemn the brutal police repression and show our solidarity with those injured and the unreasonably detained for acts of peaceful resistance without any provocation, for which we demand the immediate release without charge.”
