Hunger Strike in Spain For Palestine

At a press conference in parliament yesterday, Jorge Pueyo declared his support for a hunger strike initiated on 19 November by the Aragon Palestine House and the Jerusalem Association in his constituency, the country’s autonomous region of Aragon.

He confirmed that he began his hunger strike yesterday in solidarity with Palestine and will continue it through Friday. Pueyo, who serves as deputy spokesperson in parliament for the Sumar alliance, a minor partner in Spain’s minority left-wing coalition government, also called for Madrid to sever diplomatic and trade ties with Israel, impose a full arms embargo on Israel and promote the visibility of the Palestinian cause.
