The strike – declared by the USB and CFIL trade unions – comes after Thursday’s demonstrations in various cities around the world, including Milan and Rome, after Israel has stopped the Global Sumudilla Humanitarian Sumudilla who was trying to help them. About 10,000 people marched yesterday from the Colosseum.
Although the strike was deemed illegal as the unions did not notify the mobilization in a timely manner, Thousands of protesters gathered And today Friday in Rome, marching to the huge square outside the Termini Central Railway Station, where the routes were canceled or delayed up to 80 minutes.
CGIL said for its part that the strike was legal and noted that it would appeal against the Authority’s decision.
“The squares will be full,” CGIL’s leader Mauricio Landini told Radio Anch’io earlier.
“It shows the humanity and the determination of decent people who want to stop genocide and do what governments and states pretend to see or are even complicit,” Landini added.
As a result of the strikes, many Italian schools were closed while several train routes were canceled, while other delays are long.
Several internal flights were also canceled.
On the streets leading to the port of Livorno, large trucks were formed after the protesters blocked access to it.
On Thursday, there were clashes between police and protesters in Bologna while Turin were tarnished by vandalism at the OGR Exhibition Center.
