The national demonstration was filled with thousands of comrades from all over Italy.

 The historic Genoese workers’ vanguard took on the task of reuniting the ongoing struggles against the war and the sending of arms to Ukraine, against fascism, for the revival of the struggles for wages and pensions.

 On the day of the demonstration the ‘USB mare e porti’ called a general strike of port workers to denounce the continuous accidents and deaths at work and to defend the right to strike against government attacks.
