The leader of opposition in Catalonia, Inés Arrimadas, has said that Friday was "the dream day for [the Catalan president] Torra", but at the same time "a nightmare for the social majority in Catalonia."

In a press conference on Saturday, Arrimadas criticized the widespread protests in the country to reject the unprecedented Spanish government cabinet meeting in Barcelona, instead of Madrid as usual.

According to her, the rallies meant the "success of the separatist commandos," but for most of the people was a "day of fear."
