A statement published this Saturday on the official website of this organization calls, among other things, to “stop the criminal madness of wars,” seek a political solution to end the war between Kiev and Moscow, and “stop the massacre and ethnic cleansing “. Palestinians” by Israel.
Groups such as the Coordinator of Constitutional Democracy, the Italian Women's Union (UDI), the General Confederation of Trade Unions of Italy (CGIL), the National Partisan Association of Italy (ANPI), as well as the environmental organizations Legambiente and Greenpeace, among others.
Giorgio Zampetti, General Director of Legambiente, said in press statements that “the world is experiencing a deep crisis marked by conflicts and wars that are causing innocent deaths, devastation and new forms of hatred and violence in different parts of the planet.”
“That is why today, together with many other civil society actors, we considered it important to be present in the squares with our flags and immediately ask for peace,” Zampetti added.
In the streets of the city of Milan in the northern region of Lombardy, about five thousand demonstrators called for a ceasefire in Palestine, while in the Tuscan city of Florence a pacifist human chain of a thousand people stretched along the Arno River from the Santa Trinidad Bridge to the Carraia Bridge.
Ilaria Lani, trade union leader of the CGIL in Florence, demanded during the event that “our country, as the Constitution says, is at the forefront of rejecting war and building a policy of peace.”
Similar protests took place in the cities of Palermo, Naples and Turin, as well as other large urban centers and small towns across Italy, the source said.
Nicola Ricci, general secretary of the CGIL in Campania, said that “a signal must be sent to reaffirm Europe’s role in building a path to peace.”
“It is necessary to reduce military spending in favor of social spending and to stop the arms industry in order to restore a climate of coexistence and security for all people,” Ricci added during the demonstration in Naples.
