The left-wing alternative party Podemos ultimately supported the embargo despite criticizing elements of the plan. Podemos leader Ione Belarra called the sanction against Israel &#8220;fake&#8221; because it did not go far enough.<\/p>\n<div class=\"max-md:faux-bleed mb-4 bg-marshmallow pb-5 dark:bg-ramones md:invisible md:mb-0 md:h-0 md:overflow-hidden md:pb-0\">\n<p>Advertisement<\/p>\n<div class=\"flex w-full flex-nowrap justify-center\">\n<div class=\"flex ad-container\" id=\"_R_l9p56mhek5clubsnm6fbH1_\">\n<p>Advertisement<\/p>\n<style type=\"text\/css\"><![CDATA[#_R_l9p56mhek5clubsnm6fbH1_ { display: none; }\n@media screen and (max-width: 767.95px) {\n        #_R_l9p56mhek5clubsnm6fbH1_ { display: flex; }\n        iframe { max-width: 100vw; }\n      }]]><\/style>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"mb-4 hidden pb-5 md:block\">\n<p>Advertisement<\/p>\n<div class=\"flex w-full flex-nowrap justify-center\">\n<div class=\"flex ad-container\" id=\"_R_159p56mhek5clubsnm6fbH1_\">\n<p>Advertisement<\/p>\n<style type=\"text\/css\"><![CDATA[#_R_159p56mhek5clubsnm6fbH1_ { display: none; }\n@media screen and (min-width: 768px) {\n        #_R_159p56mhek5clubsnm6fbH1_ { display: flex; }\n        iframe { max-width: 100vw; }\n      }]]><\/style>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">With the embargo and additional measures, Madrid aims to help &#8220;stop the genocide in Gaza,&#8221; according to the government.
