Tomorrow in Turin a new demonstration against high costs of living and rearmament

New demonstration tomorrow in Turin against high prices of living, war and rearmament, high rents and cuts to education and healthcare.

The event will start at 3pm from Piazza Castello and will end in Piazza Crispi. The appointment was presented during a citizen assembly at the Luigi Einaudi Campus, occupied since October 26, in which university students, trade union representatives and collectives participated.

The organizers announce new initiatives in the coming weeks, with the aim of giving continuity to the protest.

The procession will cross Via Po, Piazza Vittorio Veneto, Via Vanchiglia, Corso San Maurizio, Corso Regina Margherita, Piazza della Repubblica, Via Cigna and Corso Vigevano, before reaching Piazza Crispi. The event was notified in advance at the Police Headquarters and will take place simultaneously with other initiatives in Genoa, Florence, Bologna, Udine and Lecce.

Among others, Cobas, the CPS Student Assembly, Cambiare Rotta, Turin is against rearmament, Turin for Gaza and the Turin School for Peace announced their participation in the mobilization. Among the promoters there is also the Torino in piazza network, a local branch of Italia in piazza, which aims to coordinate the different realities involved in the protests.

The protest should extend to other Turin university buildings, including Palazzo Nuovo, after the occupations which have also affected several high schools in recent weeks.

During the meeting, solidarity was expressed with the people affected by precautionary measures in the investigation into the clashes of 31 January, which occurred during the demonstration against the eviction of the Askatasuna social centre.
