Protestors rage against private event in public park and damage to historic stepsBarcelona residents have expressed their fury at damage to the steps of a world heritage site during preparations for a Louis Vuitton fashion show.
Matters came to a head on Thursday as huge crowds wielding banners encircled officers, who were seen shoving residents and beating one man to the ground after he lashed out with a kick. Multiple arrests were reported locally. 'In order for the richest man on the planet to make his parade on a heritage space for the people of Barcelona, the La Salut neighbourhood will not be able to park on their streets for 3 days,' the group wrote on Twitter/X.Locals were limited to just the northern part of the park, according to Catalan News.
In one video, the crowd appears to shuffle forward before one man is beaten back with a baton, crying out in pain. The man in grey dives in with a wild kick but finds himself in the centre of eight officers, all masked and all with batons, who surround him and drag him away from the crowds. A journalist for Catalan channel Rac 1 claimed a person had been detained by officials and taken to a police station.
And a third person in a vibrant green jacket and black sunglasses also confidently walked past in apparent ridicule of Louis Vuitton's statement party. On Wednesday, dozens turned out to complain about the event, judging it 'privatising public space', as reported by Catalan News.The park was completed in 1914 and later sold to the City CouncilOfficials stand guard at the historic park amid multi-day clashes with protestors, May 22
