The Generalidad government meets in session, congratulating its Commissar for Public Order on the successes achieved. The Bolshevik-Leninist Section issues a leaflet. CNT militants interrupt a telephone conversation between Companys and Azana. Armed resistance from the CNT workers on the upper floors thwarts this. Within a few hours, a host of armed bands has been formed and the first barricades erected.
Businesses close down.
At that hour, in the Casa CNT-FAI in the Via Durruti, the CNI Regional Committee and the POUM Executive Committee meet. Companys doggedly opposes this. Gun-battles throughout the night. Many barricades and violent clashes throughout the city. In the Sants barrio 400 Guards are stripped of their weapons.
