- Hundreds of people have mobilized this Friday in Santutxu to demand the closure of the McDonald’s restaurant. The Bilbao-Palestine citizens' initiative, which has called for the mobilisation, has called for an active participation in the boycott campaign against the American company.
On 13 December, neighbors took to the streets to denounce that McDonald’s is one of the major international support companies for the massacre of the Palestinian people and to underline that in the neighborhood "there is no room" for this type of multinational.
The demonstration will be held on the same day that the fifth McDonald’s in Bilbao was opened. The mobilization started at 19:00 from Ritxi Square in Santutxu and was attended by “Israel murderer McDonald’s helper!”. or “Boikot Israel, Palestine liberated! They heard slogans in the neighborhood.
As the demonstration reaches number 51 on Zabalbide Street, in front of the new McDonald’s, hundreds of people have fallen on the ground. The multinational has denounced the aid to the Israeli genocidal army and wanted to bring to Bilbao the image of the people killed in Palestine.
