00:00 On Friday, the Spanish government denied entry into its territorial waters to the Danish

00:04 flagged ship Marianne Danica, which was carrying arms to Israel.

00:08 In this sense, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs prevented the ship from making a docking in

00:12 Cartagena.

00:13 Previously, Spanish social activists requested a similar measure for the cargo ship Borkum,

00:19 but the public prosecutor's office rejected the request because the cargo was destined

00:23 for the Czech Republic.

00:25 The blocked Danish ship left the port of Madras in India with a final destination to the port

00:30 of Haifa in Israel.

00:32 In the meantime, the Spanish foreign minister defended the measure and affirmed that it

00:36 was justified.
