A large demonstration in Lisbon against the aggression against the Palestinian people

Neither the silence nor the disinformation of the media can deny this obvious fact: many thousands of people took part in the large demonstration "Peace in the Middle East, Independent Palestine!" on Sunday 29 October, saying "No to War, No to the Massacre!"

Responding to a call from the Portuguese Council for Peace and Cooperation (CPPC), the General Confederation of Portuguese Workers (CGTP-IN) and the Movement for the Rights of the Palestinian People and for Peace in the Middle East (MPPM), and joined by many other organisations and collectives, people marched between Martim Moniz Square and City Square in Lisbon to demand an end to Israel's genocidal attack on the Palestinian people, shouting "Peace Yes, War No!", "Peace in the Middle East, Independent Palestine!", "Gaza is not a Prison, Massacre and Siege No!" and, above all, "Palestine Will Win!"

In Praça do Município, after a musical moment with Sebastião Antunes, Ilda Figueiredo (CPPC), Rui Estrela (Vida Justa), Carlos Almeida (MPPM), Dima Mohammed (from the Palestinian community) and Isabel Camarinha (CGTP-IN) spoke.  Fernando Jorge Lopes read out a motion that was approved by acclamation.
