Protesters in Barcelona set fire to barricades, prevented cruise ship passengers from leaving. Royal Caribbean delayed a ship's departure. In the U.S., passengers on a cruise ship were blocked from leaving for approximately five hours. Youth protests in France are drawing comparisons to U.S. movements. In Canada, a video was wrongly identified as protests in Canada. In Spain, protests erupted after a deadly train crash. Paris students rallied despite a protest ban. France's protests are reportedly aiding a political candidate.
