We recall how the middle classes of the time, in fear of a redistribution of wealth, chose to entrust themselves to authoritarian figures, who - after national-socialist beginnings - invested in weapons and in war as a plan for development and dominion. We express our solidarity with the Palestinian people who suffer injustice and abuse and with those Israeli citizens who struggle beside them to stop the occupation.
In addition, we express our indignation and refusal for the current policies of governments that refinance ill considered and highly expensive military commitments.- Governments that do not show wisdom and do not invest in health, education and employment opportunities for the new generations.
- Governments that ignore the protection of the natural and cultural environment of their countries.
We hope that with these actions it will be possible to influence choices for production that are coherent with the needs of Italy and of the environment.
Italian Women in Black, who for years have worked for the peace that comes from justice, express all our solidarity with the demonstrations planned in various Italian cities on 28th January 2011 by trade unions who are fighting for a change in the productive situation in Italy.
We would like to express our respect for FIAT workers and members of the F.I.O.M. union confederation who have taken a clear and dignified position.
