Insorgiamo: Italian workers and climate movements unite in Bologna

from Perth Indymedia · host Perth Indymedia Collective

While news of Georgia Meloni's neo-fascist party, Brothers Of Italy, rising to power in Italy has caused much concern for people of conscience everywhere, there are also signs of hope from the Mediterranean Basin. The GKN Factory Collective, an organisation born from a workers struggle and general strike in florence and occupation of the Campi Bisenzio GKN plant, have joined forces with the Fridays For Future student climate justice movement. This new movement "Insorgiamo" translated as "we rise up" has brought together a coalition of ecological, economic and social justice movements to confront the crisis of Italian Capitalism. On Saturday an estimated 15 thousand people gathered in Bologna in the latest manifestation of this movement, marching and dancing through the streets and occupying a highway. Indymedia's Raymond Grenfell was there to speak to some of the participants of this new movement.
