Long queues for extraordinary migrant regularization procedures were observed again this Saturday at the Monumental Citizen Attention Office (OAC) in Barcelona, with dozens of people spending the night waiting.

By 8:30 AM, opening time for the center, the queue already stretched along Diputació and Sardenya streets, continuing onto Gran Via, highlighting the high demand for prior appointments. Currently, appointments are being scheduled for the following week.
A significant presence of Guàrdia Urbana officers was noted, aiming to prevent incidents similar to those experienced the previous day. On Friday, moments of tension arose when groups attempted to enter without appointments, requiring the intervention of the Mossos d'Esquadra to restore order.
