ITALY ERUPTS IN ANGER: 'Money for People, Not Weapons' as Country Braces for Massive Protests

Описание: Italy is bracing for nationwide strikes and demonstrations on Friday as trade unions protest against rising living costs and military spending. The Unione Sindacale di Base (USB) has called on public and private sector workers to strike, with a major demonstration planned in Rome and student protests expected in major cities. Unions are demanding wage increases linked to inflation, lower prices for essential goods, reduced rents and VAT cuts on basic necessities. They are also criticising the government's military spending priorities, arguing that healthcare, education and public services remain underfunded. Rail services are expected to face disruption from Thursday evening until Friday night, while air transport workers are expected to strike throughout Friday. Taxi services and motorway staff are also expected to be affected. Separately, dockworkers in more than 100 ports across 17 countries and four continents are mobilising against arms trafficking, rearmament policies and the militarisation of ports. In Italy, the action is expected to affect ports including Genoa, Livorno, Trieste, Civitavecchia, Ancona, Ravenna and Gioia Tauro.
