Sumar MP Jorge Pueyo began a hunger strike on Tuesday in solidarity with the Palestinian people. This is an initiative promoted by the House of Palestine in Aragon which began on November 19 and will end in preparation for the demonstration called for November 29.
“The first day, I was fine. I’m just a little hungry, so far it’s nothing. We’ll see how the week goes,” he said.
Until next Saturday morning, Pueyo will feed exclusively on water or black coffee, but he does not rule out extending the strike if the Palestinian House requests it. Through his gesture, Pueyo wanted to give visibility to the initiative, share the hunger that thousands of Palestinians have been experiencing for more than a year because of the conflict and denounce an untenable situation which has already resulted in “more than 44,000 murdered, 105,000 injured and counting.” more than 10,000 missing,” according to Palestinian government data.
He also wanted to give visibility to the rest of “companions of the Palestine House” who also went on hunger strike. “We are witnessing a genocide live, which often leads us to view it with apathy and anesthesia. Netanyahu already has a search and arrest warrant from the International Criminal Court. That is enough,” he said.
According to him, in a political moment where everything is words, tweets and declarations to see who says it the most “we must set more of an example in politics and in life.”
The Prime Minister himself, Muhammad Mustafa, expressed by letter his “deep gratitude”, on behalf of the Palestinian people, to the “brothers” of Zaragoza and all of Spain who have started a hunger strike as a sign of solidarity .
“This reflects your attachment to the values of humanity and justice which are systematically violated by the State of Israel, which has been committing genocide for more than 14 months,” he said in his writing.
He also denounces the “destruction” of this last year. “There are no more hospitals, schools, universities, or water tanks. There is also no food or water, because Israel prevents the entry of humanitarian aid and uses hunger as a weapon against the Palestinian people“, he adds.
