The Miguel Indurain Grand Prix will take place this weekend, organized by the Cycling Club of Estella (Navarra). In view of the participation of the Zionist group Israel Premier Tech in the area for several years, around 70 people linked to cycling signed a declaration in the Estella area against the participation of the Zionists: cyclists and former cyclists, coaches, volunteers, fans, etc. Here you can read the list of those who have signed the text promoted by the platform Solidarity with Palestine.

The Estella Cycling Club later presented this year’s edition and the participants, and for reasons that have not been clarified, this time Israel Premier Tech will not be present. However, Solidarity with Palestine denounces that he tried to meet with the club last year to talk about the issue, but the answer was not good: "He showed no willingness to do so." As a result, the platform has implemented "other pressure mechanisms", including the above-mentioned text. And it seems to have had an impact.

In the framework of the victory achieved, Solidarity with Palestine emphasizes that "the struggle is worth it": "Let us continue to fight even in the editions that have come, so that Zionism has no place in our sport." In fact, he recalled the importance of the struggle for the "cessation of all relations" with the Zionists, denouncing that, in the world of sports, the Zionist groups play the role of "ambassadors of the State of Israel", such as Israel Premier Tech. "It is only a propaganda tool of a colonial state that is fully immersed in a genocide in Palestine," say the members of Solidarity with Palestine.
