You can see how the confrontation began. The police tried to move the flotilla people and they refused and started acting aggressively. One ran forward and Spanish police reacted. They’ve done this in every airport and police let them get away with it. Seems the Spanish didn’t. pic.twitter.com/8h9vUbufmc
