Spanish Health Workers Stage Coordinated Protests Honoring Gaza Medics, Urging Immediate Ceasefire

Organizers now plan nationwide October mobilizations to press their case in parliament.

Overview

  • Demonstrations in Madrid, Barcelona, Valencia and Vigo honored Gaza’s medical staff under the banner “Resistir es salvar vidas” and described the situation as genocide.
  • Participants demanded an immediate and definitive ceasefire and voiced support for the flotilla carrying humanitarian and medical aid to Gaza.
  • The platform PararLaGuerra.es organized the actions with backing from healthcare federations, and public figures including journalist Fran Sevilla and director Lluís Pasqual took part.
  • Organizers said they are preparing a calendar of mobilizations for the first half of October in 200 to 300 towns across Spain as part of a broader cross‑sector campaign.
  • Parar la Guerra plans to bring its demands to the Congreso de los Diputados next week, citing eight published manifestos with 15,000 signatories and a coalition it says includes 145 organizations.
