Hundreds of thousands marched in Barcelona in a show of unity on
Saturday evening, with chants of “I am not afraid”, after two terrorist
attacks in the Spanish region of Catalonia last week left 15 dead.
The march was led by shopkeepers and residents of the city’s central boulevard, Las Ramblas, where a van ploughed into pedestrians on 17 Aug, killing 13 and injuring over 100.
The crowd applauded representatives of the police, fire services and medical professions, who were also prominent.
Spain’s King Felipe VI, prime minister Mariano Rajoy and the head of Catalonia’s regional government, Carles Puigdemont, dressed in dark suits, walked in the throng as people cheered while carrying red, yellow and white roses – the colours of Barcelona.
