Elkarrekin Podemos believes another march to Gaza is "unworkable," but other options are under consideration
Activists Maite Gartzia (Deputy Coordinator) and Alberto Villarreal (Head of Health), who participated in the Global March, have reported on the situation in Egypt, criticizing the actions of the Spanish ambassador to Egypt, who told them that they should not attend the march.
Elkarrekin Podemos has said it is "unworkable" to hold another Global March to Gaza, because it would be "a repetition of failed action," but "different actions and opportunities to enter Gaza from elsewhere are being explored," said purple party coordinator Maite Gartzia.
Gartzia appeared this Friday at a press conference in Donostia-San Sebastián, together with the head ofHealth of Podemos Euskadi, Alberto Villarreal , both of whom were part of the Basque delegation that travelled to Cairo to enter Gaza and participate in the march to Rafah to "break the blockade".
They have both recounted the different situations they experienced in Egypt, where many activists were arrested or detained, and some were deported, making it impossible to carry this march, which displaced 4,000 people of 52 nationalities, according to Villarreal.
Garcia has been very critical of Spain's ambassador to Egypt . They had a meeting with him, he said, "It was a very bad, pathetic meeting. His attitude is terrible. He blamed us all the time for the peaceful march and said, "You shouldn't have come." And he spent the two hours of his meeting with , "You shouldn't have come." Yes, I want to make a strong criticism of this person because he supposedly represents us, and we received no support, no complicity, "he said.
Garcia said his party is considering filing a complaint with the government about what happened with the ambassador.
In the words of Villarreal, at first Egypt seemed to see the march "favourably," because "the necessary permits were requested and not denied at any time," and the Egyptian media also considered it "something positive."
"It is clear that the Egyptian Government had no intention of agreeing to this march, neither then, nor today, nor tomorrow, nor in a month. The Egyptian Government has very good relations with Israel, and we were a nuisance there for both of us. "
Although this march has not been possible, he has stressed that "a very importantnetwork of solidarity and activism has been created, a solid foundation for the future. " "We have exposed the genocide in Gaza and shown the people of Palestine that we are with them," Garcia stressed.
They find it difficult to repeat "the same march with the same characters, and entering the same place."
"It would be unworkable right now, because, given the attitude of the Egyptian Government, and with all the persecution we have been subjected to by the police, a failed action would be repeated. That's why they're valuing other actions and other attempts to get in from other places, "he said.
