TL;DR Summary

Dozens of people, including police officers, were injured in protests outside the Madrid headquarters of Spain's ruling socialist party. The demonstrations were against the party's plans to offer an agreement deal to Catalan separatists. The protests turned violent, with clashes between protesters and riot police.
