The news of the day, unfortunately, has been the illegal assault on the Spanish crew by Israel. More than 443 crews are in an unknown whereabouts after
Among the detainees, there are at least 40 Spaniards, 35 Italians, 32 Turks, 21 Malas, 25 Tunisians, 12 Brazilians, 31 French, and 20 Americans, as well as participants from the United Kingdom, Germany, Mexico and Colombia, among other nationalities.
Throughout the day there have been numerous mobilizations, but there have also been known faces that have pronounced about it. Juan Diego Botto, who on numerous occasions and that on May 31 supported the departure of the Global Sumud Flotilla from Barcelona, has also done so with El HuffPost In an interview with the premiere of the series of , in which he puts on the skin of a CNI agent that tries to dismantle with his classmates an operation of Russian intelligence services.
The actor says regarding the news, “not expected, ceases to be less devastating”, although there have been various warnings from the government that activists had received. But he emphasizes that “it is important not to lose perspective of what we are talking about.”
“We are talking about 40 ships that were going to take medicines and food to a population that has been deprived of them for months and months and that is also subject to constant genocide for two years,” he says.
“That they have been arrested, that Europe has allowed those ships to have intercepted and that those medicines and food do not reach the Gazatí population seems absolutely unfortunate and speak very badly, not only of Israeli impunity, but of the attitude of Europe in this whole issue,” the interpreter complains.
As he remembers, “the Italian ship and the Spanish ship accompanied them during a stretch of the journey and left the flotilla abandoned to their fate.” “It’s very, very, very, very debatable,” he emphasizes. In addition, remember that much of the crew of the flotilla is Spanish.
With respect to the legal framework of these acts, which have described specialists as participated in the elaboration of the Convention on the Law of the Sea in an interview with El HuffPostthe Spanish Prosecutor’s Office has opened an investigation.
Botto says that “it is totally illegal to approach in international waters” and remember that “what is after international waters are Palestinian waters.” “Israel has been blocking that maritime space for decades, for more than ten years, which cannot speak of a temporary thing for October 7, but is an abuse of international law from any point of view,” explains the actor.
“With which, the flotilla, the Spanish ship and the Italian ship, had all the permission from the point of view of the international law to accompany those ships to penetrate Palestinian territory. They have not done so and Europe continues with an unfortunate abandonment of functions and we are seeing what we are seeing,” he adds.
With respect to whether they are intelligence services, which dethses in the fiction of Movistar +, those that have failed, Botto says no, since they are facts that are happening “in everyone’s eyes.” “With which what is failing here are the political decisions, what they are failing is the political will of each of the members of the European Union to fulfill such basic things as the Convention against Genocide, which mandates preventing and sanctioning,” he explains.
“To prevent obviously we are late, but the less sanction and that is not being fulfilled,” he says. The interpreter recalls that “calling him genocide is to tell an objective fact.” But the important thing comes later. “The issue is once you know that it is a genocide, what are you going to do about it? You are forced to do something about it, something that is not being done,” he concludes.
