supreme court imposed a lengthy prison sentences on catalan separatist leaders who were found guilty of sedition. the rally began peacefully with the streets of barcelona awash in a sea of protesters from the waterfront to the city's landmarks a grad a familiar church. many carry cattle on flags and banners branded with slogans such as sit and talk and freedom for political prisoners. pro independence groups had called for a peaceful march to demand the release of 9 separatist leaders found guilty of sedition they were imprisoned by the supreme court on october 14th. the move triggered a wave of anti madrid demonstrations some marked by heavy violence. spain's main parties have consistently rejected any towards catalan independence protesters accuse madrid of criminalizing dissent. less about it's time for the state

to find a solution because it seems that this has no wind and we are always at the same point that we've come here because we are fed up with so much for a person that we have suffered from the stage since no one knows that the government in madrid doesn't want to listen to us or sit down and talk which is what we want we have always defended nonviolence what is happening in barcelona is not a reflection of us we separatists are not violent we want our country we want to be free. but when night fell violence flared up again. the earth several 100 protesters surrounded police headquarters hurling bottles paint balls and other objects at officers in riot gear police backed by riot vans charge the demonstrators to disperse them. all right let's bring in journalist stephen burgeon he joins us now from barcelona and hello to you stephen now the

vast majority of catalan pro independence supporters were peaceful the saw those numbers at the rally what exactly happened to spark that violence and who was behind it. what's happened as part of from a couple of days of quiet with her as what's happened from the start as we have a peaceful demonstration very large number of people. as it dispersed those smaller organized groups who are just quite what the person who said all pro depends on the majority would then set off usually to the headquarters of the police which is where they were last night the spanish police and. stage a demonstrate a separate obstruction and stop throwing things at the police and taunting and so last night was a particularly large of about 10000 people outside the headquarters and what you

can see in your video what happens. now later today we're going to see anti separatist rallies what can we expect there. well probably. are not sure how the larger the there was a couple of years ago there was one that was nearly a 1000000 people. this is supported by most of the main national political parties not the council or regional parties and various other political groups. the what we'll see is you know these are people who are against separation from spain unfortunately they tend to people who make the most noise on this particular march tend to be spanish nationalists so we have catalan national. and spanish national so where is there a lot of people in the middle who you know basically don't want to wave either fly or well with spain being show divide and do you see any path forward to

for the independence movement at this point. not at the moment because certainly not before the tents where there is a general election. as part of campaigning for her for election after the 1st 4 would have to see where this. is very open to question of the moment if the socialist leader or the searchers can form a government i imagine that he will attempt to start some talks if on the other hand this is increasingly likely there is a right wing coalition. they will know even consider having talks about the but that's because they regard. spain as you know the entirety of strangers a status something virtually sacred and they wouldn't countenance starting told us
