Mobilization also in Cosenza of students, teachers and educational staff on the occasion of the national school strike. Around 200 young people demonstrated in Piazza Kennedy against the current conditions of the Italian education system and to denounce the progressive abandonment of the educational sector, with cuts in funds, lack of adequate structures and lack of valorisation of school staff. The unanimous request is for a greater investment in training, considered the basis for the country’s future. The boys brought a further appeal: the end of Italian involvement in international conflicts. The demonstrators held up a banner reading “Money for school and not for war. Free Palestine». The procession, which took place along Via Montesanto causing a traffic interruption and traffic disruption, ended in Piazza 15 Marzo in front of the headquarters of the Province of Cosenza, where a delegation of students met the delegate for school construction.
