Two additional anti-Israel municipal decision in Spain were overturned by justices in the Spanish cities of Valencia and Barcelona, delivering a blow to the boycott, divestment and sanctions effort.

According to a Yisrael Hayom report, the decision were passed by local governments in Xeraco, south of Valencia, and Olesa de Montserrat, near Barcelona in the Catalon region.

“In May of last year, Xeraco passed a decision not to sign any diplomatic agreement or contract in the fields of trade, agriculture, education or culture, or any agreement to cooperate with Israeli public entities, companies, or organizations in the field of security” Yisrael Hayom reports.

Yisrael Hayom quotes JTA quoting the pro-Israel Spanish organization ACOM in adding ten-justice panels overturned the municipal rulings. Spain’s municipalities have accepted the BDS movement and passed the highest number of resolutions among EU nations. The country’s judicial system however is working hard against BDS.
