Unionists responded to the recent pro-independence protests following the sentencing of Catalan leaders with a rally in the center of Barcelona on Sunday.

According to the local police, 80,000 people attended the rally.

The demonstration was called by anti-independence grassroots group Societat Civil Catalana (Catalan Civil Society), under the slogan 'For concord, for Catalonia, enough'.

Thousands of Catalans, as well as people coming from Spanish regions like Madrid or Valencia, flooded one of Barcelona's most iconic avenues: the Passeig de Gràcia.

The day after the pro-independence rally

The rally came a day after the umpteenth pro-independence protest against the imprisonment of politicians and activists involved in the 2017 referendum push, which gathered 350,000 supporters in Marina street according to the local police.
