Footage shows demonstrators blocking Diagonal avenue in front of 'Catalonia's Palace of Congresses', as they chant anti-monarchy slogans, wave pro-independence flags, and call for the release of the jailed Catalan politicians. A small number of supporters of the monarchy can also be spotted behind a fence, as they raised a Spanish flag.
The protest, which was organised by pro-independence groups such as the Committees for the Defense of the Republic (CDR), comes a day ahead of the 2019 Princess of Girona Awards, that will count with the presence of the Spanish King Philip and his daughter, Princess Leonor.
