Hundreds of thousands of people participated in marches organized by political, labor, student, and social organizations, which joined together the previous day in 30 cities to simultaneously express their condemnation of the US aggression against the Bolivarian nation and its threats against Cuba, Colombia, and other countries.
The demonstrations spread throughout Rome, Milan, Brescia, Turin, Venice, Bologna, Piacenza, Reggio Emilia, Modena, Rimini, Ravenna, Imola, Faenza, Genoa, Pisa, Florence, Siena, Lucca, Perugia, Ancona, Bari, Lecce, Brindisi, Barletta, Gaeta, Naples, Catanzaro, Potenza, Cagliari, and Palermo.
The protesters rejected the hegemonic ambitions of US imperialism, state terrorism, and the ongoing application of the colonialist Monroe Doctrine.
In the massive demonstration in Rome, the demonstrators marched along several of the main avenues in the city center, from the Esquiline Square to the US Embassy.
“Today we’re in the plaza and we will not stop, because we know that the risk of further attacks is extremely high,” some of the speakers declared, reaffirming that “with socialist Cuba in our hearts, with socialist Venezuela in our hearts, we will continue to mobilize for the idea of a different world.”
