Landini in the square in Rome: 'General strike on November 20th'

"On 20 November the CGIL will proclaim a general strike": this was announced by the general secretary of the CGIL, Maurizio Landini, from the stage of the Via Maestra demonstration in Piazza del Popolo in Rome, asking for answers from the government in view of the budget maneuver and recalling that the European students' strike will take place on 20 November.

"In this square I find so much of the spirit that led us together to win the constitutional referendum that according to everyone we had already lost and instead the extraordinary mobilization of civic forces and civil society made the difference. This is what we need".

Dem secretary Elly Schlein said this when she arrived at the CGIL demonstration.

"We need - he added - to build the alternative together to be able to go to these people who have mobilised. We want to build the alternative not alone but with all those who want to contribute and in this square there are many".

Landini: "We need capital, possible 25 billion"

"If someone with a net worth of 2 million is asked to pay a solidarity contribution of 1%, 25 billion will be recovered, which can be invested in healthcare, schools, rent." Thus the general secretary of the CGIL, Maurizio Landini, from the stage of the event in Rome relaunches the capital plan on great wealth, which in the CGIL projection would concern 500 thousand taxpayers, and the tax reform as a "decisive element".
