Today, Saturday, about 70,000 people in Barcelona, Spain, demonstrated in protest against the aggression in Gaza, according to local police estimates.
Spain is preparing, along with Italy and Portugal, to organize massive demonstrations in the coming weeks, including the cities of Madrid, Barcelona, Rome and Lisbon,
After the escalation of popular anger, after the occupation forces intercepted the fleet of humanitarian aid sailing from Barcelona in an attempt to break the siege on the Palestinian territories.
The fleet includes about 450 activists, including more than 40 Spanish, including the former Barcelona mayor, who were removed from the ships in recent weeks.
Italy has previously witnessed widespread demonstrations in which more than two million people participated in a one -day general strike in solidarity with the residents of Gaza,
While the Spanish government’s efforts escalate diplomatically to pressure the occupation.
At the same time, London witnessed protests organized by supporters of the Palestinians,
Despite the authorities’ calls for their abolition after a bloody attack on a Jewish synagogue in Manchester.
The police arrested dozens of protesters in the central London Square after they raised banners in support of the “Balstain Action” movement,
That was banned in July after its members stormed an air base and exposed to military aircraft.
Six other protesters were also arrested after the movement’s banner was raised on Westminster Bridge in front of Parliament,
While hundreds of others gathered to participate in the protest amid chants and applause for the detainees.
These popular moves come at a time when international calls for pressure on the occupation to end the continuous aggression for nearly two years.
Which left extensive suffering in Gaza and caused accusations of widespread humanitarian crimes.
