Dozens of pro-Palestine demonstrators gathered along the route of La Vuelta in Madrid on Saturday, protesting the ongoing war in Gaza and the participation of an Israeli cycling team in the race.

Footage shows police attempting to contain the protest as activists waved Palestinian flags and held signs reading “Stop Genocide.”

The demonstration took place during Stage 20, the penultimate leg of the Grand Tour, and followed similar actions earlier in the race.
