Spanish Vuelta Bike Race Interrupted by Pro-Palestinian Protests

HeadlineSep 15, 2025

A major bike race in Spain was forced to prematurely end on Sunday when a massive pro-Palestinian protest in Madrid interrupted the final stage of the Spanish Vuelta. As many as 100,000 took part in Sunday’s demonstration, which was organized in part to protest the inclusion of an Israeli team in the race.

Meanwhile, in New Zealand, as many as 50,000 people took part in the pro-Palestine March for Humanity rally in Auckland on Saturday. Protest organizers called on the New Zealand government to impose sanctions on Israel.
