Hundreds take to Madrid streets against NATO intervention in Ukraine

“We also reject Europe’s growing involvement in Ukraine’s military struggle, because they do so under the interests of the United States,” a protestor said…reports Asian Lite News

Hundreds of people demonstrated in Madrid to show their rejection of the conflict in Ukraine and NATO’s intervention.

Demonstrators, organised by the popular assembly which was made up of independent organisations and associations, gathered in front of the Puerta de Atocha railway station on Sunday and marched in the direction of the Spanish Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

“Spain should not give in to NATO pressure anymore,” because the effects of contributing to the conflict “are already harming various sectors with very serious effects,” according to Lorena Cabrera, Representative of Anti-Capitalist Associations, and several leaders of the organisations.

“We want peace for Ukraine and all countries,” said Luis Arevalo, a protester from Madrid.

“We also reject Europe’s growing involvement in Ukraine’s military struggle, because they do so under the interests of the United States,” he added.

According to the barometer of the ElCano Royal Institute presented on Friday, 48 per cent of Spaniards are in favour of an intervention, compared to 52 per cent against, Xinhua news agency reported.

“The European Union (EU) should not join the confrontational strategies that are being promoted today from Washington in order to preserve its hegemony,” said Xulio Rios, Director of the Spanish Observatory of China Policy.

“Its commitment must be the democratisation of international relations and not segmentation with increasingly war mongering overtones. (There should be) more social welfare and less military spending,” Rios added.
