Overview
- An evening march in Barcelona, called by the Comunitat Palestina de Catalunya and flotilla organizers, moved down Via Laietana to Drassanes with graffiti denouncing alleged complicity, leading the Guàrdia Urbana to cut access to the Ronda Litoral as police have used tear gas in recent confrontations.
- A separate student protest in Barcelona drew about 6,500 participants, according to the Guàrdia Urbana, alongside strikes by SEPC and CGT and brief road blockages on the AP‑7 near Sant Celoni and the C‑25 at Manresa.
- Dozens are encamped at Plaça de la Carbonera with plans to remain until October 15, signaling efforts to sustain pressure beyond single‑day marches.
- In Xàtiva, the Town Hall and the Casa de les Dones displayed banners reading “Xàtiva amb Palestina, aturem el genocidi,” and a protest led by the Plataforma de la Costera contra el Genocidio en Gaza drew roughly 2,000 people, according to organizers, with backing from 36 associations and a nonpartisan message.
- Organizers in Xàtiva said they expect to call further demonstrations, while parallel actions included partial education stoppages in Madrid with about 10% participation reported by the regional government and ELA‑led rallies that gathered around a thousand people in the Basque Country and Navarra.
