Sumar and EH Bildu to Boycott Wednesday Control Session for Gaza Strike

The walkout underscores divergent tactics on Spain’s left over how to confront the Gaza war.

Overview

  • Sumar confirmed all its deputies will be absent during the morning stretch of the session, with their no‑show set to coincide with the 10:00–12:00 stoppage window.
  • EH Bildu said its six lawmakers will suspend parliamentary activity and join the strike, with their absence beginning from 11:00.
  • Podemos stated it will denounce the war from the chamber rather than adhere to the stoppage, although later reporting indicated its four deputies may step out for an unspecified period.
  • The 24‑hour strike was registered by CGT, Solidaridad Obrera, ASC and Confederación Intersindical, while UGT and CCOO called two‑hour stoppages per shift with workplace gatherings.
  • Parliament adjusted its calendar for the week, with voting and other business moved to Thursday as parties calibrated their participation during the strike.
