Overview

• PP lawmaker Manuel Pérez Fenoll shouted “Qué gordito has salido de Auschwitz” at Compromís MP Juan Bordera during the opening of a Les Corts session.
• The remark cut short a welcome for Bordera, prompting the chamber president, María de los Llanos Massó, to demand silence and leading Compromís deputies to call for respect.
• Bordera recently returned after joining the Global Sumud Flotilla and being held about 90 hours in Israel’s Ktzi'ot facility, where he alleges lack of potable water, spoiled food, and sleep deprivation.
• He is set to defend a motion asking Les Corts to press the Valencian government to reject Israel’s actions described by proponents as ethnic cleansing and genocide, and to freeze cooperation agreements.
• The flotilla framed its mission as delivering humanitarian aid to Gaza, and international pressure preceded the activists’ release, with Bordera back in Spain since October 5.
