A protest march took place this morning in Naples to mark the start of the maxi-trial against 43 activists, including unemployed members of the 7 Novembre and Cantiere 167 Scampia movements, and members of Si Cobas and the Iskra Political Laboratory.
Charged with unauthorized demonstration, resisting a public official, disruption of public service and damage, the demonstrators were accompanied to the courtroom by a procession of about six hundred people, including numerous delegations from all over the country. Italy.
“The fight against work is not prosecuted. Free to fight. Let's stop the Security bill”: this was the slogan that guided the march, which started from Piazza Nazionale and culminated in Piazza Cenni with fireworks and chants of solidarity for the prisoners.
At the heart of the dispute is the decision by the Prosecutor's Office to merge nine different demonstrations into a single file, which took place between December 2022 and March 2023, during an intense mobilization of the unemployed in response to the continuous postponements of the negotiating tables for job placement.
“They want to attack an experience of struggle and emancipation, of battle against social marginalization,” the organizers denounce. An experience that, despite the difficulties, has led to concrete results such as the start of a training course for over 600 unemployed people.
The trial, according to activists, is not only an attack on the struggle of the unemployed, but represents a broader attempt to criminalise social protest and limit freedom of expression.
