The great director Pedro Almodóvar addresses the Spanish government: “break with Israel against the genocide in Gaza”

The Spanish filmmaker Pedro Almodóvar urged the government of Pedro Sánchez to cut any diplomatic and commercial relationship with Israel, denouncing a “genocide” against the people of Gaza. In a video published on the Instagram account of his production company El Desseo, the Oscar -winning director also asks the Prime Minister to encourage the European allies of Spain to adopt the same position. Almodóvar joins the campaign “Conte Palestina”which brings together many personalities of cinema and culture, including Luis Tosar, Marta Nieto, Adriana Ugarte or Carlos Bardem. All record similar messages to call for a firm conviction of Israel.

By this public position, the director of Everything about my mother And The piel that Habito once again demonstrates the courage and humanism that mark his work as much as his civic commitment. By putting his notoriety at the service of a universal cause, he recalls the essential role of artists: lending their voices to those who are trying to silence.
