Ahundred boats, batels, canoes and solidarity boats headed towardsthe Bilbao Maritime Museum from the port of Santurtzi.

Meanwhile, hundreds of people have made a human chain to linkthe Bilbao City Council   with the esplanade of the Itsasmuseum, where about a thousand protesters have waited for the navigators, waving Palestinian flags and shouting sloganslike "Palestine liberated"  and "It's not war, it's genocide. " 

In solidarity with the maritime march, the following meeting places have been organized: in Santurtzi, next to the lighthouse trousers; in Portugalete, from the Mareometer to La Canilla; in Sestao, next to the sports centre of La Benedicta; and in Barakaldo, next to the mural commemorating Periko Solabarria.

Right now there are drones flying over the flotilla and threatening. We have to be vigilant and attentive to all the mobilizations because we're going to have to take to the streets again at any moment. "

At the Bilbao Maritime Museum, spokespersons for the call have denounced "genocide and holocaust in Gaza" and accused Israel of wanting to "destroy the Palestinian people, suppress their identity and deny them the right to exist."

The organizers criticise the 'neutrality and complicity' of European governments , while theBasque Government andorganisations such as Kutxabank oppose maintaining investments in CAF because 'they continue to make trams for Israel'.

Finally, they have sent their support to the Global Sumud Flotilla, made up of ships from\u00A44 countries. "Right now there are drones flying over the flotilla and threatening. We must be vigilant and attentive to all mobilizations because we will have to take to the streets again at any time," they have warned.
