      Tbh, I’m kind of impressed by the reaction of the police and military. I know it’s not popular to make this statement in Spain at the moment, only criticisms allowed.

      But imagine if 60k people suddenly try to invade your small city (population ~80k). And while you mess up initially and they all get in, you manage to get most of them out within 24h. Without shooting to kill. It deserves some recognition.
