Balsareny is a municipality in the comarca of Bages in the province of Barcelona, Catalonia, Spain.

2017 attack

The small village received national attention in the context of the Spanish constitutional crisis when a block of flats where some Far-right militants known for its apology of francoism and violent participation in demonstrations[3] had a spanish flag allegedly burnt causing minor damage and one case of minor intoxication due to smoke, not denounced to the police.[4] The action was widely condemned by opposition parties in Catalonia.[5]
