“Deputy Prime Minister Soraya Saenz de Santamaria said after months of television and Internet scenes of sometimes violent clashes between police and demonstrators, a balance had to be struck ‘between citizens’ right to protest’ and the need ‘to uphold the integrity of state security forces.’ The government’s plans were unveiled a day after Spain’s director general of police, Cosido Ignacio, said efforts are under way to secure such a ban. Television images of clashes near Parliament on Sept. 25 showed several protesters bloodied and in need of medical attention.”
