You are correct, we are unlucky that we are being switched to Iberia both out and back.
the frustrating thing is that Qatar refuses to put us on one of the other two Qatar flights from Madid without a hefty fee.
very disappointing and unexpected from Qatar
I am in the same situation as you. A change to another carrier qualifies for an involuntary change. They gave me an option to change to any other QR flight departing within +/- 3 days.
Im trying to see if they can change the outgoing from CDG instead of MAD. The first agent said no. Im going to call them again to see if the next one agrees.
Your best bet is to keep calling them at various times and to different numbers until they offer you something reasonable.
