Around 100 students convened by the strike committee of the Diagonal campus of the University of Barcelona (UB) cut Avenida Diagonal near Palau Reial at about 12:00 on Tuesday, 10 November. They placed fences across the avenue, which fully blocked traffic and the tram line, and set off smoke flares and firecrackers.
The protesters displayed banners reading 'Campus Diagonal contra el rendisme i el capital' and 'Campus Diagonal a la vaga general', and chanted 'Visca la lluita de la classe obrera' and 'Habitatge gratuït i universal'. The action was held in support of the 11N general strike.
