Violent protesters try to provoke police charges during a protest called by "Picnic for the Republic" pro-independence movement outside the Spanish Government's regional office in Barcelona on October 19, 2019. The situation remained tense in Barcelona yesterday night, when new barricades were mounted in the aftermath of unprecedented violence since the start of mobilisations on October 14 against the prison sentence of separatist leaders for their role in the 2017 secession attempt.
