Granada, Spain | Monday, March 17, 2025 (Republic of Palestine)
Under the slogan: “Don’t let them drag us to war, no to NATO, bases out!” And on the occasion of the anniversary of the referendum on the permanence of Spain in NATO, on Saturday, March 15, a concentration has been organized in front of the headquarters of the subdelegation of the government, to demand the withdrawal of the bases of this military alliance led by the U.S. in Andalusia.
Spain currently has 2 military bases located in the south of the Peninsula, in Andalusia. One of them is an air base located in Morón de la Frontera (Seville) and the other is a joint base for the air and naval forces, located in Rota (Cadiz).
It should be noted that the anti-imperialist Platform “Bases Out, No to NATO” that organizes the concentration considers that these bases and the military alliance represent a threat to the security of all the people in the Spanish State, especially in Andalusia, also for world security and other people victims of imperialist aggressions: “In the recent genocide that the Zionist entity has committed and commits against the Palestinian and Lebanese peoples, continuity of the same genocide that it has been practicing against the Palestinian people for more than 77 years, with the acquiescence and complicity of the United States, the United Kingdom and the member states of the European Union, all of them belonging to the criminal and terrorist North Atlantic Treaty Organization, under the leadership of the USA.”
The North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO or “Atlantic Alliance”) is an organization that fosters global instability by its involvement in the destruction of nations fighting for their independence and rejected and challenged imperialist hegemony, such as Libya, Iraq, Syria and many other countries. This alliance is a destructive factor in our world and must be dismantled especially for its part in backing the Zionist entity called “Israel” in its commission of the ongoing genocide against the Palestinian people, the military occupation of their lands, and the building of its illegal settlements on Palestinian lands.
At the end of the rally, the organizers announced that “The Platform Bases Out, No to NATO” of Andalusia launched the call for the XXXVII (37th) march to Rota on April 6, 2025.
Since the entry of Spain into NATO, the population, especially in Andalusia, fully rejects the fact that their homeland is part of this destructive, imperialist, and invasive alliance of other nations. Every year, the march to Rota against the naval and air base located there is organized, in addition to many other activities such as rallies, lectures, and seminars, all to inform about the danger of the presence of military bases and the NATO military alliance, which is an imperialist alliance whose function is to destroy other nations and rob them of their resources.
