“I join the hunger strike called by Casa Palestina de Aragón for the end of the Israeli genocide and against international complicity,” he said on X.

Pueyo, who serves as deputy spokesperson in parliament for the Sumar alliance, a minor partner in Spain’s minority left-wing coalition government, also called for Madrid to sever diplomatic and trade ties with Israel, impose a full arms embargo on Israel and promote the visibility of the Palestinian cause.
