"Hundreds of people rallied in Madrid on Saturday to call for the end of the conflict in the Middle East. Footage shows protesters holding banners and placards bearing slogans such as 'We must stop the war in the Middle East' and 'They wage wars, and you pay them!'. Some signs can also be seen depicting anti-Trump messages. "It is very important to raise awareness among the entire citizenry, the men and women of Madrid, that we must always be on the right side of history," former Industry, Economy, and Trade minister Reyes Maroto said. "We have always denounced the regime of the ayatollahs, but that does not mean we do not denounce the illegal war and the consequences that this illegal war is having," she continued. In response to US President Donald Trump's call for Spain to leave NATO, 'Stop the War' spokesperson Joanen Cunyat stressed the importance of upholding 'international law, peace, and multilateralism'. "That is where Spain stands, and that is where we must continue. I believe that anything being said at this moment has only one objective, which is to pressure Spain and try to destabilize a movement in defense of peace and international law that is growing ever wider," he said. On Friday, media reports suggested that an internal Pentagon email was seeking ways to 'punish' NATO allies deemed unsupportive. Trump has previously criticised Spain for refusing to increase defence spending to five per cent of GDP."
