Gaza strike, USB: ‘Hundreds of thousands in the streets across Italy’

Rome, 22 September (LaPresse) – "Great success for the strike called by USB to stop the genocide in Palestine: millions of workers are striking across the country, from ports such as Genoa and Livorno, to schools, which are closed in up to 70% of some cities, to logistics warehouses, factories and public administrations. Tens of thousands have taken to the streets, with 100,000 in Piazza dei 500 in Rome alone, with demonstrations still ongoing and set to continue throughout the day. This strike is a warning to the Meloni government, which is proving itself complicit with the Zionist state and continues to increase military spending at the expense of wages and services! It is an unprecedented day of struggle: to break the siege of Gaza, alongside the Global Sumud Flotilla and with Palestine in our hearts!'. Thus in a note from the USB.
