On the ninth anniversary of the jihadist attack on August 17, Barcelona held an emotional tribute in honor of the victims at La Rambla and Cambrils. The event brought together family members and those affected by the attack, creating an atmosphere of remembrance and respect for those who lost their lives in the tragedy.

However, the event was also marked by tensions between groups. According to 20minutos, the Mossos d'Esquadra intervened to separate members of Vox and independentists who clashed during the ceremony, creating a confrontational climate amid the tribute.
