The monarch and the ‘president’ of the Generalitat have remained in the head, separated from the rest, while it has been seen how the Sánchez’s security services protected him with an umbrella and removed him. At that moment it was seen that someone was throwing a stick at the President of the Government, who did not continue with the visit.
After the first moments of protest, soldiers and other agents of the security forces joined in, including police on horseback.
Police and Civil Guard agents and the military have tried to contain the citizens and protect the authorities.

“WE ARE DEAD NOW”
For her part, Queen Letizia, who also ended up with mud on her face, stayed in another group separated from the king and was seen talking to some affected people and even hugging several women, with a sad face. “We are dead now”; “People are dying and you come now for what”; “You don’t need water, you don’t lack anything,” neighbors have been heard reproaching the monarch according to images released.
Later, troops with protective shields were added to safeguard the monarch. At this time, people have also been observed getting into vehicles and being greeted by the king.
