The Government has condemned violent disturbances in Barcelona over the weekend, as the investigation continues.

The latest police figures put the number of arrests at 130, including 76 minors.

Shops and street furniture were damaged, with the cost of damage estimated at around 36,000 euros.

Government ministers have argued that the far right benefits politically from the disorder, while opposition leader Alberto Núñez Feijóo has accused the Government of contributing to political tension.

Police are still investigating who organised the gathering and whether further groups were involved.
