The Broad Front joins the Palestine mobilization called for October 8

The Political Board of the Broad Front unanimously decided to join the mobilization for Palestine scheduled for October 8 in Montevideo, la diaria reported. The rally will begin at 6:30 p.m. from the esplanade of the Montevideo City Hall and will proceed to Plaza Independencia.

According to la diaria, the march is being promoted by the Coordination for Palestine in Uruguay under the slogan “Free Palestine or barbarism,” as three years have passed since the Israeli military offensive in Gaza that began after Hamas attacks on October 7, 2023.

As reported by la diaria, the Broad Front joined the call, although it reserved “the right over the proclamation.” In a statement, the political force called on people to participate “in condemnation of the genocide carried out by the government of Benjamin Netanyahu” and in solidarity with the Palestinian people.

It also called for an immediate end to the aggression and for respect for human rights and international law throughout the region, with special mention of Lebanon and the West Bank. It also called for a lasting peace settlement based on the existence of two states along the agreed 1967 borders.

The Political Board also urged the government of Yamandú Orsi to continue promoting, in international forums, actions aimed at a substantive solution to the conflict, la diaria added. The Broad Front called for a gathering that day at 18 de Julio and Germán Barbato.

According to the Uruguayan outlet, the political force had already joined the same mobilization last year.
