This Sunday, convoked by Societat Civil Catalana, hundreds of thousands of people have joined a demonstration in the streets of the capital of Catalonia to oppose the separatist coup.
The streets of Barcelona have been filled by the huge influx of people towards the demonstration. Among the attendees were many flags of Spain and Catalonia, as seen in this video of El Club de los Viernes:

One of the slogans heard in the colossal march has been "Puigdemont to prison", in reference to the leader of the separatist coup, as you can listen in this video of Luis Roca:
Escucha, @marianorajoy: "¡Puigdemont, a prisión!"
Con los golpistas no se dialoga, se actua y se les detiene.#RecuperemElSeny pic.twitter.com/F6ETeH18g4

There have also been signs of support for the Spanish Security Forces, as we see in this Europa Press video, in which demonstrators chant "this is our police" before agents of the Civil Guard:

The National Police also received samples of support. In this photo of Cruz Morcillo we see a van from the Police Intervention Unit (UIP) that has been covered by demonstrators with flowers and Spanish and Catalan flags.
But in front the Catalan Autonomous Police the crowd shouted "this is not our police", after the repeated breaches of the duty that their agents have committed following the illegal slogans of the Catalan separatist government (video of Mario González)
