Violent protests by Spain's far-right have continued for a seventh consecutive night as the government finalized its deal with the Catalan nationalist party, Junts. An armed attack earlier that day against the founder of the far-right Vox party, Alejo Vidal-Quadras, also fueled the unrest. A gunman on a motorbike shot the far-right politician, who survived the attack. The shooter fled the scene, and their identity and motives aren't yet known, though Vox claims that it may well be political.

Far-right Spanish nationalists are furious at the PSOE-Junts agreement that will grant amnesty to Catalan leaders prosecuted for 'separatism,' as well as opening the door for a referendum on self-determination. In exchange, Junts will lend their Parliamentary votes to current Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez, allowing him to be sworn in for another term.

Far-right groups, such as Vox, see this pact as a 'betrayal' of Spain. Many of them were seen doing Nazi salutes, chanting 'Cara al Sol,' the hymn of the Spanish Falange dictatorship.
