New altercations in Ferraz on the eighth day of demonstrations in front of the PSOE headquarters. The main focus was on Madrid, the main headquarters of the socialist party, but this Friday there was also special attention to Malaga, where the President of the Government Pedro Sánchez met with Olaf Scholz, German Chancellor, although there were no altercations there.

Although the demonstration had fewer members than in previous days (4,000 people according to the Government Delegation), altercations between the protesters and the Police occurred again, also with attacks on the press.

Each live connection became a problem and, in the particular case of laSexta, a new attack occurred again, this time with a push to a cameraman. Added to this was the constant intervention in the live connections with boos and covering the camera, which caused the police to intervene on occasion.

Unlike previous days, the hooded men did not occupy the first rows of the demonstration from the beginning. That place was occupied mainly by older people and the police focused their efforts on finding these people within the crowd of people, since they were in small groups within the mass causing small altercations that did not become major.

However, after the hour of protests, the hooded ultras began to appear in the front rows and altercations began. They attacked the Police again by throwing bottles, glass, flares and firecrackers, in addition to making fascist salutes and chanting against Pedro Sánchez.

The Police asked over the public address system for the end of the demonstration and for the protests to be dissolved, to which the ultras ignored and even burned a flag with the face of Pedro Sánchez that was hanging on a traffic light.
