"We are here, because it is unacceptable that in Spain the government is not boycotting the genocide that Israel is committing in Palestine, and in the race, there is an Israeli cycling team that should not be here, that should have been banned because the sports, cultural, commercial, and academic boycott is the only thing that will stop this genocide where 1,000,000 people are dying, including 1,000 children."

14. SOUNDBITE (Spanish) Carmen Dominguez, 80-years-old:
"We, the ordinary people, need to be here saying no to genocide. It is genocide, no matter what the mayor says. He has no idea. It’s a bond."

STORYLINE:
Pro-Palestinian protesters gathered at the final stage of the Spanish Vuelta in Madrid on Sunday.
There were clashes between police and protesters, with some carrying anti-Israel banners.
More than 1,500 police officers had been deployed ahead of the last stage of the three-week long cycling race.
The Grand Tour event has turned into a diplomatic battleground and was largely disrupted by protesters against the presence of Israeli-owned team Premier Tech, which earlier in the race removed the team name from its uniforms.
Six of the last 10 days of racing were either cut short or interrupted.
