Burning cars and clashes with police: Spain's protests escalate into riots In Bilbao, Spain, thousands of people rallied against the arrival of right-wing activist Vito Quiles. His speech was canceled due to security concerns, but the protests did not end there. Rioters blocked streets with burning garbage cans, set cars on fire and vandalized shops. Stones and firecrackers were thrown at the police. The fire destroyed at least six cars, and police equipment was also damaged. As a result, 19 people were arrested, including seven minors. Three more are being investigated for involvement in the riots. We are at MAX.
