The Spanish Government is in favour of the Return banning the participation of Israeli groups
"Everyone understands that more and more citizens are taking to the streets and expressing their indignation at the massacre in Gaza," said Spanish Government spokeswoman Pilar Alegría.
The spokeswoman for the Spanish Government, Pilar Alegría, has stated that the Government would "like and support" that the Return to Spain and the International Cyclist Union would not allow Russian clubs orgroups sponsored by Israeli companies to participate in the SPORTS competitions, as other international bodies had decided in 2022.
In an interview with RNE, the Minister of Education, Vocational Training and Sport has stated that three years ago international sports organizations and federations took "clear" decisions to deny Israel's participation in international competitions.
"And I would like and support that decision today in the same direction," referring to the Return to Spain.
It recalls that the promoter and director of the Vuelta is a private institution and that the Spanish Government must accept that it can do so, but that the Spanish Government also has a responsibility "to know how to reconcile and preserve the safety of sportspeople and fans with the right of all citizens to express themselves peacefully".
"And everyone understands that more and more citizens are taking to the streets and expressing their anger at the massacre in Gaza, "he said.
Police will deploy 1,100 officers and 400 additional Civil Guard personnel this weekend in Madrid to ensure the security of the Return to Spain in the face of protests over the participation of the Israeli Premier Tech team along the way.
