Activists in Barcelona Protest Against Israeli Companies’ Participation in International Tech Exhibition
The protests took place at the entrance of the exhibition center, where activists held signs and chanted slogans. They called on organizers to cut ties with Israeli companies and expressed support for a boycott of Israeli goods and technologies.
This protest reflects a growing movement in Europe aimed at limiting engagement with Israeli entities. Similar demonstrations have previously occurred in various Spanish cities and other countries discussing measures to suspend cooperation with Israeli organizations across different sectors.
Spain has previously adopted measures restricting Israeli companies from participating in defense and technology exhibitions. However, in some cases, courts overturned such bans, ruling them illegal and in violation of free trade principles.
The rise in protest sentiment is linked to the ongoing conflict in the Middle East and international debates on human rights. The participation of Israeli companies in international events remains a contentious issue, sparking reactions from politicians and civil society alike.
