Demostrators brandished posters reading "All people lose every war," and "Trump ruins democracy"
Hundreds of Spaniards gathered in central Madrid on Saturday to protest against the US-Israeli war on Iran, the conflict in Gaza, and the presence of NATO bases in Spain.
Just a day earlier, Reuters reported that Washington was considering kicking Spain out of the military bloc for withholding access to military installations on its territory after the US and Israel attacked Iran in late February. However, a NATO official has asserted to the BBC that the bloc has no provisions for such an expulsion.
Saturday's demonstration was organized by the Spanish "Stop the War" platform, which said simultaneous protests took place in more than 200 locations around the country.
Attendees shouted slogans and waved placards saying "We must stop the war in the Middle East," "All people lose every war," and "Trump ruins democracy." They also protested against US NATO bases in the country, according to El Mundo and the Associated Press.
The rally was attended by local municipal officials and MEPs from the ruling Socialist Party (PSOE), some of whom gave speeches at the event, the newspaper reported.
