Riot police have dispersed a small group of far-right protesters after separating them from hundreds of counter-protesters near the site of a memorial to the Barcelona van attack victims.
The far-right protesters, numbering 20-30, held up signs saying "Stop Islamization of Europe." Counter-protesters were chanting "tontos," or "idiots" at them, with some of them holding up their middle fingers at the far-right protesters. Riot police wearing helmets with face shields kept them apart for a while before gently removing the far-right protesters. After they walked away, the counter-protesters applauded and also left peacefully.
The protest came a day after a van rammed into pedestrians in Barcelona's Las Ramblas district, killing 13 and injuring 120.
