Uruguayan organizations have come together to express support for Palestine and condemn Israel’s policies through a march and rally organized by the Palestinian Uruguay Coordination in front of Montevideo City Hall. Various social movements, trade unions, and political parties participated in this demonstration, advocating for the severance of diplomatic relations with Israel until the ongoing violence against Palestinians ceases.
The trade union central PIT-CNT highlighted the sentiments of the demonstrators, stating, “We resist, because we are olive tree and root, because the wind whispers Palestine and there is no exile that erases the return.” Furthermore, the Coordinator for Palestine asserted on social media, “Enough of colonialism, genocide and apartheid!”.
Christian Mirza, a former substitute deputy for the Popular Participation Movement of the Broad Front, expressed hope that the incoming government under Yamandu Orsi would revise its stance on foreign policy toward Palestine. He stressed the importance of not adopting a neutral position, emphasizing, “In this case it means support for the Palestinian people in all its terms.”
