Editorial: El Mundo

• The cancellation of Ariana Harwicz from the Cultur-Alh festival is seen as an attempt to silence opposing opinions.
• The accusations against Harwicz, of endorsing extermination in Gaza, were not supported by the cited statements.
• Criticism is targeted towards a cultural institution revoking speech from someone with a different position.
• This event is linked to others, like the Festival of Ideas in Madrid forgoing sponsorship from Allianz due to their investment in Israeli debt.
• The University of Granada, the Argentine Embassy, and the Federation of Jewish Communities in Spain have criticized Harwicz's cancellation.

Conclusion: Exclusion, rather than opening a discussion, threatens freedom of speech and jeopardizes the purpose of culture.
