Mass Pro-Palestinian Protests Sweep Barcelona and Rome Amid Gaza Crisis

Tens of thousands of demonstrators filled the streets of Barcelona and Rome on Saturday, October 4, 2025, in one of the largest waves of pro-Palestinian protests seen in Southern Europe in recent years.

In Barcelona, police estimated around 70,000 participants, while organizers claimed as many as 300,000. Protesters marched peacefully through the city center behind banners reading “Stop the genocide in Palestine” and “End the arms trade with Israel.” The rallies were partly fueled by anger over Israel’s interception of the Global Sumud Flotilla, a convoy of humanitarian aid ships that had departed from Barcelona in September and was blocked in international waters earlier this week. Dozens of Spanish activists remain detained in Israel following the incident.

Meanwhile, in Rome, crowds numbering between 250,000 (police estimate) and over one million (organizers’ claim) marched past the Colosseum in a fourth consecutive day of demonstrations. The protests, which included families, students, and trade unions, were largely peaceful but ended with clashes between a small group of protesters and riot police near the Basilica of St. Mary Major. Authorities reported Molotov cocktails, fires, and several arrests after the confrontation.

The demonstrations in both cities were part of a broader European mobilization demanding an end to Israel’s military campaign in Gaza, which has killed more than 66,000 Palestinians, according to Gaza health authorities. Protesters also called for sanctions, boycotts, and stronger European Union action against Israel.

The scale of the protests highlights growing public pressure on European governments, particularly Spain and Italy, to take a firmer stance on the conflict.
