Nationwide strike called by the grassroots union USB for tomorrow. Piantedosi: "We will isolate the violent ones." Rallies expected in various cities.
Tomorrow, Friday, October 30, a national general strike called by the grassroots union Usb is scheduled. The protest, which will involve both the public and private sectors, has been called against the high cost of living and rearmament policies. The Minister of the Interior, Matteo Piantedosi, today brought together prefects and police chiefs, guaranteeing the use of an "articulated apparatus" to isolate any violent individuals during the demonstrations.
The Minister of Infrastructure and Transport, Matteo Salvini, has prohibited the protest in the transport sector, but the trade unions have confirmed the agitation. Therefore, disruptions to traffic are not ruled out. Marches are planned in several cities, including Milan, Naples, and Rome, with the participation of students, who have been leading the recent occupations in schools and universities.
Tomorrow's general strike has been called by the grassroots union USB (Unione Sindacale di Base), an organization representing a segment of the workforce that often promotes protests on issues such as the cost of living and foreign and military policy choices. The protest arises in a context of persistent price increases (high cost of living) and debate over defense and rearmament policies, issues that have divided public opinion.
The situation has reached this point after a period of social tensions and mobilizations, including student protests. On one hand, the government has sought to address criticisms with economic measures such as the recent 26-billion-euro budget maneuver, presented by Prime Minister Meloni as "targeted resources for work and birthrates." On the other hand, it maintains a tough line on maintaining public order, as demonstrated by the words of Minister Piantedosi. The requisitioning of transport services by Minister Salvini is a legal tool the government can use to limit the impact of strikes on essential services, but it often becomes an additional point of conflict with unions. The immediate consequences will be potential inconveniences for citizens and a new test for the management of public order during demonstrations.
