Nails 200 people participated in a boat tour of the Albufera, with vessels that departed from different ports (The Saler, Palmar, Silla, catarrh) to converge at the Gola de Pujol viewpoint. RESCOP were present, BDS Valencian Country, "No Port For Genocide", Global Summud Flotilla, Palestinian Community of Valencia, You for Palestine, among others.

The action sought to symbolize a bridge between the shores of the Mediterranean: Valencia and Palestine, recognizing a geographical and symbolic closeness beyond borders. It was demanded that the Spanish State stop using its ports to cooperate with the genocidal state of Israel and demand an end to state complicity with crimes against the Palestinian people..

This action crowns the week of the strike called by unions such as CGT, COS, THE INTER-UNION, CNT and student unions held last 15 October. Despite the fact that the union bureaucracy of CCOO and UGT did not call a strike and only promoted protests in the workplace, The strike was felt in the reduction of transportation and education that operated with minimum service guards.

In the morning there were various pickets and an important mobilization for Colón and the day closed with a rally at the Roig Arena in advance of the basketball game that pitted Valencia Basket against Hapoel Tel Aviv, Israeli team. Despite the match being scheduled behind closed doors without an audience, nail 2.000 People gathered at the gates of the new stadium to demand an end to the complicity and condescension with which a State that massacres and starves the Palestinian population and that has not yet received relevant sanctions is treated.. The day ended with a disproportionate police repression, which claimed several injuries and 5 arrested, joining the repression suffered in Barcelona. One of the injured had to be transported by ambulance at the time due to injuries..

This shows which side the establishment is on, which for the cameras is against the genocide but when push comes to shove it does not decree an effective arms embargo., allows Israeli teams to play on Spanish territory and represses those who protest or strike.
 The fighting continues, since they are not deceiving us with Trump's lying peace plan, which is a trap for everyone to let their guard down. We will continue fighting so that Palestine is free from the river to the sea.
