Rome, Italy. 20th May, 2022. Today, Grassroots Trade Unions - such as Usb, Cobas, Cub, Usicit, Sgb, Unicobas Cib - Housing Rights Movements, Alitalia workers, Precarious workers, and some extra-parliamentary lefty Parties, held a General Strike and a demo - contemporary with other 25 squares across Italy - called "Against war, against economy of war and against Government of war". The aim of the demo was to protest against the Italian involvement in the Ukraine war and against the economic policies of the Italian Government led by Mario Draghi. Protesters called for an immediate withdrawal of Russian troops from Ukraine, and demonstrated against the involvement of NATO and Italy in the war and for an immediate stop of sending weapons to Ukraine. Moreover, protesters call the Government: to stop spending for weapons and army and to immediately raise workers' salaries; no to layoffs and privatizations; to fight for wages and guaranteed income; for contrasting the cost of living; for contract renewals and to fight against precariousness for full employment; to make robust investments in school, health, transport, public welfare and housing, against military expenses, in favour of a necessary social expenditure; for fair taxes that attack rich incomes and reduces social inequalities. The demonstration started in Piazza della Repubblica and ended peacefully in front of the Colosseum.
