“With Cisl and Uil we immediately decided that it was necessary to respond, with our intelligence, our civic sense and on Saturday 16th here in Rome we decided that it was time to organize a large anti-fascist and democratic demonstration”.
Thus the leader of CGIL Maurizio Landini at the union's general assembly in front of the headquarters in Corso d'Italia. “We appeal to all associations, political forces, democratic citizens, to be united on the 16th to give an answer to the country and give an indication to Europe”.
Yesterday's was a “preordained and coordinated plan. It was a fascist and squadrist action, there are no other definitions, the choice to hit the Cgil and the world of work is an unacceptable act”. Landini said again.
"Thanks also to the injured officers. We are close to the police and the judiciary so that they do their duty to the fullest and condemn the people who cowardly carried out this unprecedented attack."
“We are on the right path, that's why they attack us. Whoever attacks us, attacks the possibility of rebuilding”, he added.
“All groups that hark back to fascism must be disbanded, and this is the time to say it clearly.” The secretary of the CGIL, Maurizio Landini, stated, explaining: “On Saturday 16th we decided, together with Cisl and Uil, that the time has come to organize a national anti-fascist and democratic demonstration: the title will be “Never again fascism. This is not the time to build walls or fences, neither in Italy nor in Europe”.
