Demonstration in the square "La Via Maestra" on October 17th in Rome: here's where and who is organizing it

Over one hundred associations have been called together by the CGIL for the national demonstration tomorrow, Saturday 17 October, in Rome, together with numerous civil society entities. "La Via Maestra" returns to the streets "to claim a country founded on work, social justice, equality and peace, as indicated by the Constitution". The concentration is scheduled for 1.30pm in Piazza della Repubblica, accompanied by the slogans "Work, peace, environment, welfare, Constitution: together on the main road".

The route

The procession will start from there and arrive in Piazza del Popolo, where speeches from the stage will alternate. Closing will be the general secretary of the CGIL Maurizio Landini. The demonstration relaunches various proposals and demands: more wages and less precariousness, a "really fair" tax system, public healthcare and education for all, access to housing, care for the environment, freedom of dissent in the defense and implementation of the Constitution. And then the request for peace: no to rearmament and an increase in military spending.
