Protests have erupted in Madrid, Spain, with thousands of Spaniards gathering in front of the headquarters of the ruling Spanish socialist party PSOE. The protests are in response to the government's plans to issue an amnesty to the separatist leaders responsible for the Catalan independence referendum in 2017. Clashes have occurred between the police and protesters, and hundreds of people have been injured. Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez is seeking the support of separatist MPs in exchange for the amnesty.
