At the moment, the causes of these confrontations between groups, which according to sources close to the case are of different ethnic origins, are unknown. The severity of the confrontation made the presence of Mossos d’Esquadra officers necessary last night. Officers from the Mossos citizen security and the ARRO groups (Regional Operational Resources Area) attended the scene.
The Generalitat police have increased their presence in Lleida this Sunday to guarantee citizen security, coordinating with the Urban Guard while investigating the circumstances and causes that triggered this large fight.
