Tens of thousands of people protest in Israel against judicial reform

MADRID, 26 Abr. (EUROPA PRESS) -

Tens of thousands of people have protested this Tuesday in the Israeli city of Tel Aviv against the judicial reform that the government of Benjamin Netanyahu is trying to promote and coinciding with the ceremony in Jerusalem on Independence Day, which both Netanyahu and others have attended. members of the Government.

"Israel is celebrating 75 years since its founding while it is under a relentless attack on Israeli democracy that is destroying the people," said the organizers, a group of activists opposed to the current government and its reforms, as published by the newspaper ' The Times of Israel'.

Sections of Israel's Declaration of Independence have been read aloud by some of the protesters, including former Defense Minister Moshe Yaalon, former Israeli Air Force Commander Dan Halutz and award-winning actress Hanna Azoulay Hasfari.

"Facing the attackers are millions of Israelis who love the country, who will not renounce even an iota of democracy and equality," said the protesters, who have blocked several streets and highways in the city.

In Jerusalem, about 1,000 people turned out for a rally close to the ceremony, and when a pre-recorded message from Netanyahu was shown on a screen -- he did not deliver a live speech because of security measures for the demonstrations -- they began to sing the National anthem.
