500+ writers sign counter-letter in Ariana Harwicz exclusion row

Over 500 writers and artists, including Lucrecia Martel and Alejandro Zambra, signed a counter-letter rejecting the automatic conflation of pro-Palestinian advocacy with anti-Semitism, in response to the controversy over Ariana Harwicz's exclusion from the Granada festival. The statement signals a cultural-intellectual split over the Israel-Palestine discourse within the Spanish-speaking literary world. The festival continues through Sunday, with the dispute unresolved.
