Residents of Madrid gathered in the city center after the heaviest snowfall in 80 years and staged a massive snowball fight. The police had to interrupt it, the newspaper 20 minutos writes.
Law enforcement officials stopped the “battle” due to violation of measures to prevent the spread of coronavirus.
Heavy snowfall began in Madrid on Friday, January 8, and paralyzed Barajas International Airport. A red alert has been declared. In this regard, the operation of the airport was stopped until visibility improved. In addition, traffic on hundreds of roads was impeded in the country, some highways were closed, and railway communication was partially suspended.
