Police were notably absent, contrasting with prior rallies. In Barcelona, 400 students were evicted after three days of a sit in. 30 intellectuals, including the dean of architecture J. Moragas, were detained along with poets and painters. An American and a Swiss citizen were arrested at the Sarria Monastery, escorted to the La Junquera frontier post and expelled. The two released figures were Prof. Jorge Rubio and poet Salvador Espriu. Municipal authorities called the sit in highly political and partly attended by outsiders.
