2017 Catalan general strike
Spanish Military police took no part in any of the actions that occurred on 1st October. The claim of 900 injured is completely unsubstantiated and official Catalan Government statistics show that just FIVE people were hospitalised that day, one of whom had suffered a heart attack and whose life was SAVED by a quick acting police officer, and four rioters, two with concussion, one with a shoulder injury and one who lost an eye while attacking a police officer with a barrier fence.

2017 Catalan general strike
Correcting the confusion between those who participated in the strike (relatively few) and those who took part in the evening's (quite large) demonstration. Also, the Barcelona Police never gave out an estimation for the number of people who seconded the strike (how could they?!!) but instead gave an estimate of the crowd size at the demonstration that followed.
