Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez pays tribute to Propalestinian demonstrators in the Tour of Spain

ByMuhammad

The Vuelta ended yesterday in Madrid in an electric climate. Since entering Spain, the cycling tour has been punctuated by demonstrations in support of Palestine and hostile to the Israel-Prime Tech team. “Our gratitude goes to runners, but also our admiration for a people who mobilize for just causes, like that of Palestine,” said Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez during a meeting in Malaga. The head of the socialist government, who describes the situation in Gaza as “barbarism”, said he was proud to see Spain “shine as an example” in the defense of human rights.

This contrast strikes then in France, the public expression of solidarity with the civilians of Gaza remains closely monitored. Propalestinian rallies have been prohibited, and activists report searches, police custody, even anti -Semitism accusations for simple slogans or messages of support. Several NGOs and collectives of lawyers denounce a deterrent climate, stressing that freedom of expression is weakened since it is the Palestinian cause. At the same time, the most serious specialists in the Palestinian issue are almost absent from the mainstream media, where pro-Israeli megaphos are imposed which relay an uninhibited genocidal propaganda, which strengthens the feeling of a locked public debate.
