Anti-war protests swept through Madrid as hundreds of demonstrators took to the streets, demanding an end to the conflict in the Middle East. Organized by the “Stop the War” movement, rallies were held in over 200 locations across Spain, reflecting growing public anger over the ongoing war and its global consequences. Protesters carried powerful messages targeting US President Donald Trump, while also condemning violence in Gaza and opposing NATO’s military presence in Spain. Spanish political leaders, including Reyes Maroto, emphasized the need to stand on the “right side of history,” calling for peace while also defending Spain’s commitment to NATO. The demonstrations come amid rising tensions between Washington and Madrid, with reports suggesting the US is considering punitive measures against allies seen as unsupportive of its stance on Iran. As geopolitical pressure mounts, Spain has emerged as a key voice advocating diplomacy, international law, and an end to the war.
