Filt-Cgil Calabria has proclaimed, for October 19, a 24-hour strike from the Porto Gioia Tauro. “Filt -Cgil Calabria – is written in a note – adheres with conviction to the day of protest against the genocide of the Palestinian people and the destruction of Gaza that the Israeli government has been carrying out for almost two years now, with the support of the United States of Trump and in the accomplice silence of the Giorgia Meloni government”.
“Never in the republican history of our country – continues the note – there has been a class of government so insensitive in the face of the needs and suffering of children, women and elderly people, daily killed, injured, mutilated or left to die of hardship and hunger. Today, with the invasion of Gaza, this work of destruction risks fulfilling itself to the end ».
Filt-Cgil Calabria asks the Italian government “to immediately stop commercial agreements with Israel, to recognize the state of Palestine, as numerous democratic countries have already done in the world, and to defend the Italian boats of the Global Sumud Flotilla, engaged in the opening of a humanitarian corridor towards Gaza with a strong political value. He does it now, without further hesitation: Italy – concludes the union – has a history of international solidarity that cannot be betrayed by the culture and choices of the current government. The ports of Gioia Tauro thus join the workers of the ports of Genoa and throughout Italy in the battle for peace, for justice and for the future of Palestine. Two peoples, two states. We stop the Israeli aggression ».
