Five protestors from the ERC chained themselves to the railings outside the company's main studios in Madrid

Five members of the youth department of the Catalan Nationalist Party ERC, dressed in yellow jump suits and masks and armed with hammers, chained themselves to the railings outside the main studios of Cadena Cope in Madrid this morning.

They carried a banner in Catalan which called for the closure of the radio station. Stop the channel of hate – was their call. The Cadena COPE is owned by the Church in Spain.

Two deputies from Esquerra were with them, Joan Puig and Joan Tardá. Eventually the police arrived cut the protestors free and led them away.
