The most controversial return of recent years will intend to finish in Madrid this Sunday its more than 3,000 kilometers of travel with an urban circuit that will be plagued by Palestinian flags. How this cycling career has come to become a great protest against Gaza genocide has to do with the presence of Israel – Premier Tech, a team mounted by a Zionist entrepreneur to improve the image of his country and has ended up generating a popular protest movement in all places in Spain where the competition has passed.
The last stage is the one that provides for more mobilizations against genocide. The advance of this Saturday, when the race ran through the Sierra de Madrid, resulted in a detour to avoid the town of Cercedilla, whose road was cut by a protest, and with an attempt to stop to the platoon of the favorites in Navacerrada, which was about to stop the competition.
To try to prevent the protests from stopping the race, the Government and the Madrid City Council have prepared a strong security device, the largest in the capital since it housed the NATO summit. There will be 1,100 national police in its streets, to which another 400 civil guards are added until the race between in the municipality of Madrid. They are added 800 municipal police who have announced the Government of Almeida.
The final stage has a 106 -kilometer journey entirely through Madrid territory, which has been cut in 5 kilometers, eliminating the passage through Aravaca. Specifically, the twenty -first stage will have a departure in Alalpardo at 16.40 hours and will pass through Algete, San Sebastián de los Reyes and Alcobendas, before entering the capital, where cyclists will make an urban closed circuit with nine steps per finish.
Throughout the route there are a dozen a dozen protests, which is called to go with kufiyas and flags with colors of the Palestinian flag. The first one will take place in Alalpardo. In this small town of just 3,500 neighbors, citizens have been summoned from 14.40 hours on Alcalá Street, in its confluence with the M-123, and it is called to attend with Palestinian flags. The president of the Community of Madrid, Isabel Díaz Ayuso, plans to go to the cut of the tape in this municipality.
The protests will also be repeated in Algete, San Sebastián de los Reyes-the cyclists will pass through the Palestine roundabout-and Alcobendas before the squad arrives in the capital. Shortly before 6:00 p.m., the Spanish round will arrive in the historic Madrid, with entrance to the Paseo de la Florida and arrival on Calle Mayor, Plaza de Oriente, Paseo del Prado, Gran Vía or Callao. From the Madrid City Council, an assistance is expected exceeding 50,000 people.
The main protests have been organized in Atocha, Callao and the hermitage of San Antonio de la Florida. In this case, the call is from 6:00 p.m., although with a call to go at least two hours before.
From formations such as Madrid or Podemos it has been called to participate in the protests, the first with banners against the genocide in a municipal building, while both from the central government and from the PSOE the “fair” cause in front of the “genocide” in the Gaza Strip in the Gaza Strip has been underlined.
The mayor of the capital, José Luis Martínez-Almeida, warned that, although he respects the “legitimate” manifestations that may be convened, the integrity of the equipment and the security of the attendees must be guaranteed, so he asks to “suppress” the violent acts that may occur. His words ensuring that “there is no genocide in Gaza” pronounced on Monday they have ended up warming the controversy over the arrival of the race.
In addition to going to the exit of the stage in Alalpardo, the president of the community will go to the finish line to receive the runners and witness the coronation of Danish Jonas Vingegaard as a champion in this edition. The community has assured that it will denounce and undertake “the appropriate legal actions” to prevent “violent acts” as the proportional protest of the penultimate stage and make “its authors can be punished and all the responsibilities and all the responsibilities.
