Catalan independence supporters spent the night blocking the road on the border between Spain and France. The rally was organized by the Democratic Tsunami movement, which expects the action to last until Wednesday.
Supporters of the independence of Catalonia blocked the road on Monday morning, which caused long traffic jams on the highway. Thus, the protesters want to draw the attention of the international community to the situation in Catalonia.
The protesters stocked up on food, some pitched tents. The number of protesters is expected to increase during the day. The authorities of Spain and France have already discussed a possible plan of action in case the action continues. So far, law enforcement officers have not used force against protesters.
