Vita gazette – Thousands of people gathered in big cities such as Rome, Turin, Milan and Naples, under white dove flags, demanding an end to armaments and war, and for peace to be made urgently. “Let the conflict in Ukraine be ended with a ceasefire immediately,” they called.

In the capital, more than one hundred thousand, according to the organizers, have joined the Europe for Peace event organized by trade unions and over 500 associations. The square calls for a stop to arms and asks that Italy, the European Union and the member states, the United Nations “take responsibility for a negotiation.”

More than 60 thousand in the streets in the capital for the demonstration organized by trade unions and associations to demand an end to the conflict. Letta disputed: some protesters yell “warmonger” In Rome and Milan, the Peace March organized by the “Europe for Peace” platform brought all people together.

At the Roman event also party leaders with Pd, M5S and Alleanza Verdi Sinistra Italia, with Roberto Giachetti representing the Third Pole. “Today there are no flags here but citizens – said the president of Pentastellati, Giuseppe Conte – who tell the government that we want peace negotiations, that the strategy followed so far does not work: here is the silent majority of the country”. The former premier, about sending weapons, then admonished the Minister of Defense: “I say to Crosetto that since a resolution has been voted in Parliament, do not dare to decide on a new arms shipment without a confrontation in Parliament”.

The Democratic Party secretary, Enrico Letta, who was also the subject of a mini protest by some demonstrators who accused him of being a “warmonger,” also went to the march through Rome. And for Nicola Fratoianni (Avs) “we need to invest in the tiring construction of a diplomatic way out” to protect civilians. Andrea Riccardi, founder of Sant’Egidio, asked the president of the Russian Federation, making the Pope’s words his own, to “bring his people out of the spiral of war, and the president of Ukraine to be open to serious peace proposals.” According to the secretary of the CGIL, Maurizio Landini, we cannot “resign ourselves to war, because the risk of a nuclear conflict is concrete”. The event ended with “Bella Ciao” sung by the square.
