Apart from these first protests, the unions Confederació General del Treball de Catalunya (CGT-anarcosyndicalist) and the Intersindical Alternativa de Catalunya (IAC) have called partial work stoppages of two hours, from 12 to 2 p.m

Since the early hours of the morning, Barcelona has experienced the first mobilizations this Wednesday in a day of protests in solidarity with Palestine to call for an end to the attacks in Gaza.
Since a quarter past eight in the morning and for approximately half an hour, the demonstrators have blocked traffic in three points of the city: on Avinguda Meridiana, at Sarajevo bridge, towards the center of the city; on the Gran Via, at the height of Carrer del Moianès, in both directions , and at the Traversera de Dalt, also in both directions..
In a statement, the CGT of Catalonia has assured that the strike aims to denounce the “situation of impoverishment to which the working class is subjected” and the worsening living conditions of workers due to the wars. In this sense, the CGT denounces the “massacre of the state of Israel” in the Gaza Strip and demands an end to this genocide.

The February 7 strike has the support of several movements
“We love Palestine. We defend life. We stop the world”.
The strike call by the trade unions responds to the call made by several Catalan movements of solidarity with Palestine, among which are the Prou Complicitat platform and the Comunitat Palestina de Catalunya, which encourage people to join the day of protest with the slogan “We love Palestine. We defend life. We stop the world”.
From this collective they denounce that the state of Israel is guaranteed immunity “thanks to the complicity and support of the Western powers”.
