Thousands protest outside the ruling Socialist Party's headquarters in Madrid at a rally called by the far-right after Spain's Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez clinched a controversial deal to remain in power by offering amnesty to Catalan separatists, raising tensions across the country. In recent days, conservative opposition parties and members of Spain's judiciary have stepped up criticism of the amnesty plan, with some accusing Sanchez of corruption and abandoning the rule of law.

Catalan separatists flood the streets of Barcelona in a test of their strength ahead of fresh negotiations with the Spanish government. The protest coincides with Catalonia's national day, or "Diada", which commemorates the 1714 fall of Barcelona in the War of the Spanish Succession and the region's subsequent loss of institutions. At its peak in 2014, the annual demonstration brought an estimated 1.8 million people onto the streets. IMAGES
