Spanish Prime Minister Pedro S\u00e1nchez and German Chancellor Olaf Scholz were reportedly trapped inside a Malaga hotel by anti-separatist protesters on Friday night.<\/p>\n

S\u00e1nchez, the country’s acting Prime Minister, is set to remain in power after striking a deal with a Catalan separatist party. It would secure his party another four years in power.<\/p>\n

Spain’s Popular Party won the July elections but were unable to successfully form a majority. The deal with separatists now means the Socialists and S\u00e1nchez would have the required numbers.<\/p>\n

It has sparked anger from the right leading to anti-separatist protests breaking out in Madrid and other major cities across Spain. The Popular Party said S\u00e1nchez had written a “blank cheque for the independence movement”, reports the BBC.<\/p>\n

Now reports on social media show huge crowds congregating and chanting as S\u00e1nchez and Scholz met in Malaga. The protest is said to have been led by activists Revuelta.<\/p>\n

Visegrad 24 reported: “Chancellor Olaf Scholz and Spanish PM Pedro Sanchez have been trapped in a building in Malaga by a large crowd of anti-separatist protesters spearheaded by Revuelta.<\/p>\n

“The German Chancellor\u2019s security detail is trying to figure out a way to get him out of the building.”<\/p>\n

A subsequent video shared on social media platform X – formerly known as Twitter – showed S\u00e1nchez and Scholz leaving the hotel with a police escort. Protesters lined the streets as they exited.<\/p>\n
