Pro-Palestine marches erupt across Spain amid nationwide strike

Pro-Palestine demonstrations were held in Spain’s capital, Madrid, as well as other major cities such as Barcelona and Bilbao, as part of a nationwide strike. More than 200 trade unions and non-governmental organisations initiated a 24-hour general strike on Friday titled “Against the genocide and occupation in Palestine“. The unions organised various protests throughout the day, including demonstrations at factories producing military equipment and outside the foreign ministry headquarters in Madrid. They called on the Spanish government to “immediately cut diplomatic, commercial and military relations with Israel“ to prevent its participation in “Israel’s ethnic cleansing“.
