Since we last reported, Italy’s protest activity has continued against a backdrop of anger over rising living costs, low wages and the strain on public services.
On November 7, a nationwide mobilization was organized, and demonstrations carried out in 11 cities, including Rome, Milan, Turin, Bologna and Florence. Protesters raised concerns about fuel and rent prices, cuts to education and healthcare, military spending and rearmament, and wars. On the same day there were multiple other protests as well, including a mobilization for Palestine in Milan.
For November 20, a general strike over the government’s proposed 2027 budget has been called by the unions, with students also mobilizing to protest against armaments, high living costs, and war.
La Cause du Peuple has also published an interview with Per La Democrazia Populare (PLDP), which is a member of the International Anti-Imperialist League, and on October 31, organized an event in support of anti-imperialist struggles around the world.
