Barcelona Strikes Mobilize Thousands in Solidarity with Palestine

Thousands in Spain participate in strike action to support Palestinians and protest against Israeli attacks in Gaza, organized by trade unions CC OO and Unión General de Trabajadores.

Over a thousand committees, trade unions, and delegates joined partial strike action in Barcelona, reflecting solidarity with Palestine amid ongoing violence in Gaza City.
The strikes, initiated by Workers Commissions and Unión General de Trabajadores, included three time slots, with the first occurring from 2:00 to 4:00 AM on Wednesday.
Participants condemned what they termed genocide against Palestinians, demanding an end to Israeli military actions that have escalated over the last two years.

Why It Matters

This event highlights the growing international solidarity with Palestine and showcases how labor movements in Spain are increasingly addressing global humanitarian issues. It reflects a broader trend of political activism among trade unions in response to international conflicts.
