ROME – More than 20,000 people from all over Italy participated today in Rome in the national mobilization day ‘Let’s stop the wars – The time for Peace is now’.
The procession in the Capital, organized by Europe for Peace, the Italian Peace and Disarmament Network, the PerugiAssisi Foundation for the culture of peace, AssisiPaceGiusta, Sbilanciamoci, with the participation of more than 400 associations, movements and organizations, started at 2:35 pm, from Porta San Paolo in Rome, and arrived at the Colosseum at 4:15 pm.
At the head of the procession, among others, was the General Secretary of the CGIL, Maurizio Landini: “Cease fire immediately – he declared – we are not willing to accept that war has returned to being the instrument that regulates the relationships between states and nations, in the face of a crisis of diplomacy and a crisis of this nature it is time for the people of peace and the people to take their voices back. The government should not have abstained from the UN resolutions. The Italian government and all governments should give voice to those who say cease fire and stop those who are massacring people. Europe was born to prevent the third world war and today it is not playing this role”. For Landini, what Israel is doing “is not only damaging because it is massacring the Palestinian people, I believe it is also suicide for the people of Israel. The hatred that is being created must be stopped or it will only generate more hatred. Slug”:”vimeo”} –>
