Shehab Wire reported that a major Spanish cultural festival has suspended its sponsorship agreement with German insurance giant Allianz after more than 20 artists and cultural figures threatened to boycott the event. The threat was prompted by what the boycott organizers characterized as the company's support for the occupation.
Festival organizers announced the suspension following the coordinated pressure from prominent cultural personalities opposed to the sponsorship arrangement.
