Gràcia festival closes with fewer incidents than previous years (read article in Castilian here, El Periodico). The last night of the festival ended without incident after it was feared there would be violence over the intervention by the Mossos on Saturday afternoon.The police, who stopped a tribute to an ETA collaborator on Saturday afternoon only made a few evictions of people in the early hours which ended without uprooted containers being set on fire or damage done to traffic lights, a common consequence of previous festivals. Despite the absence of violence, the Mossos, arrested three people and the Guardia Urbana detained two, for throwing beer cans at the police. In the Plaça del Raspall, where young squatters and alternative bands, organised a homage to ETA collaborator Laura Riera, who left jail yesterday after serving her sentence of nine years, they sang Anti-Spain songs and unfolded banners that demanded that alternative fiestas aren't controlled as tightly as they are by security forces. The Mossos had to implement a major deployment for their eviction.
