Over 2 million protesters in 100 squares in Italy for Gaza

Marches have taken place in 100 cities across Italy and squares have been packed to protest in support of the Flotilla and the people of Gaza.

Clashes and tensions erupted from Turin to Milan, from Bologna to Ferrara, between protesters and law enforcement on the day of the general strike for Gaza and the Palestinian Flotilla.

The rallying cry for Palestine is "Block everything."

Protesters have thrown objects and stones, while police have responded with tear gas. Roads have been blocked in several cities, while transport is experiencing disruptions, especially for trains, with delays and cancellations. In Pisa, protesters occupied the airport runway, while flights have been suspended.

Italian media reported that tensions were high in Bologna, where incidents have been reported since Thursday evening, and a protester hit by a tear gas canister is at risk of losing an eye. In the Bologna area, the A14 motorway between Borgo Panigale and San Lazzaro has been closed, while the ports of Livorno and Naples have been blocked, affecting connections to the islands. Protests in the cities intensified this afternoon.

Following pro-Palestinian demonstrations across Italy, with universities occupied, train lines blocked and clashes, unions have called for a united protest.

"Today's mobilization was a success: more than 2 million people took to the streets to participate in marches held in over 100 Italian cities for the national general strike in defense of the Flotilla, of constitutional values, to stop the genocide and in support of the people of Gaza. 300,000 people marched through the streets of the capital," the CGIL announced in a statement. "According to the data obtained so far, the average national participation in the general strike is around 60%," the union continued.

The union statement emphasizes that the day "was characterized by a peaceful and democratic atmosphere. Workers, citizens and students raised their voices in support of the Sumud Global Flotilla and in solidarity with the arrested activists, for peace and to reaffirm international law. The mobilization continues. The next meeting will be in Rome for the national demonstration on October 25."

Today's demonstrations saw "the extraordinary and unprecedented participation of young people, who are seeking a future of peace and social justice, with sustainable employment and a fight against precarious employment". This was the comment of CGIL Secretary Maurizio Landini, after the news that over 2 million people had joined the demonstrations.
