Demonstration for peace in Milan: in the square today Moratti with Calenda and Renzi

After the procession for peace in Rome, it’s up to Milan to take to the streets. Without party flags, as requested by Carlo Calenda. The pro – Ukraine demonstration, which the Action leader launched for today in Milan under the Arch of Peace with the slogan “‘Slava Ukraini”, unlike the Roman one, does not call for a stop to the shipment of weapons to Kiev.

For some it is already a counter – manifestation. And it is Calenda himself, in a tweet, who highlights the contrast between those who met in the capital and those in the Lombard capital: “In Rome, a demonstration against” European warfare “and Ukraine’s right to defend itself ; in Milan a square against Russian aggression, for support for Ukraine and the freedom of those who resist. Resistance vs Surrender. It is difficult to stay in the middle, invoking the but also “. And, again on Twitter, here is the president of Italia Viva Ettore Rosato: “To Conte, who as always speculates, I say that we are all against the war, nobody likes to send weapons. We do it because the Ukrainian people are victims of unjustifiable aggression. Only Putin’s friends, cowards and opportunists do. they turn the other way “.

It is a square for peace, the one a stone’s throw from Parco Sempione, but also a political square. A testing ground for probing alliances, in the center-left camp, in view of the upcoming Lombard regional elections. To parade on stage and to listen, in addition to Calenda and Matteo Renzi, there are in fact the two almost candidates Letizia Moratti and Carlo Cottarelli, at the center of the negotiations between Pd and Terzo Polo. And then: the mayor of Bergamo Giorgio Gori (live video), Marco Cappatoseveral parliamentarians from Action (Matteo Richetti, Mariastella Gelmini, Mara Carfagna, Enrico Costa) and Italia Viva (Raffaella Paita, Elena Bonetti, Lisa Noja), the senator of the Democratic Party Alessandro Alfieriwho also participated in the demonstration in Rome, and other dem exponents such as the Milanese councilor for the House Pierfrancesco Maran.

Present the former Speaker of the Chamber Pierferdinando Casini. When he arrives in the square he says: “There is no real peace if one does not distinguish between executioners and the persecuted. There is no real peace without truth and freedom. We believe that in this affair there is an attacker and an aggressor. Today we all want a just peace that gives Ukraine the possibility of being a free country. In Rome someone has argued towards other squares. Those who have a yearning for peace must not argue. I do not argue, but I embrace all the squares for peace they must join hands “.

A live link with the mayor of Lviv is also planned, Andrij Ivanovyc Sadovyj. Numerous associations of Ukrainian citizens to participate: Youth for Ukraine, Ukrainian Community of Milan, Christian Association of Ukrainians. To these are also added theAssociation of Iranian Youth in Italythe Italian Federation of Partisan Associations (Fiap) ei young people of the ‘Let’s revolutionize the school’ movement.
