Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez and German Chancellor Olaf Scholz were reportedly trapped inside a Malaga hotel by anti-separatist protesters on Friday night.
Sánchez, 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.
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 Sánchez would have the required numbers.
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 Sánchez had written a "blank cheque for the independence movement", reports the BBC.
Now reports on social media show huge crowds congregating and chanting as Sánchez and Scholz met in Malaga. The protest is said to have been led by activists Revuelta.

Well, they got out…by a weird coincidence, I’m in Malaga right now…and headed up to Madrid again this morning, where they have called for massive protests against Sanchez. People are coming from all over the country.
Last night they had a huge protest…this involves not just young people but proper looking Madrid grandparents and people who’ve probably never protested anything in their lives.
I assume Senor Sanchez has the Moors in his corner
