“We will continue to the bitter end.” The words are the same but this time it is not the port workers of the Trieste Workers’ Coordination who are pronouncing them but the spokesperson of another ‘group’, that of the No Green Pass of Trieste. The announcement sanctions the handing over of the square from workers to the heterogeneous galaxy of those opposed to vaccines and the Green pass. Between the end of the second day of demonstrations and the third, the passing of the baton takes place.
How will the coexistence between the yellow suits and the colorful world of no green pass be? The dockers will remain to guard until October 20 with a small group and do not even think about hindering the activity of the Port, but the hundreds of people who will probably crowd the Gate 4 of Pier VII who knows if they will allow the trucks to pass.
Unions appeal: free the port
Meanwhile, the appeal of CGIL, CISL and UIL to free the port has arrived. “Legitimate demonstrations of dissent must be guaranteed, but they cannot prevent a port and a city from continuing to generate income and prospects for the future. Those people who have shown solidarity with those port workers in garrison take a step forward and free the port and those workers from a burden and a responsibility they do not have. This situation should not be exasperated because, respecting all ideas, we ask that the majority not be hostage to a minority ».
Puzzer’s resignation from the coordination of the dockers
In the morning Stefano Puzzer resigned as spokesman for the Trieste Port Coordination. He wrote it on his Facebook profile. “I resigned both from the role of vice president and from the Trieste port workers coordination following the chaos generated by the press release and last night, because these are mistakes I made. I don’t want the responsibility to fall on them, “he explained. And he added: «I will strike until 20 but I will return to work only when the green pass is withdrawn. I will go to bring pizzas rather or to Samer, where the green pass is not needed ».
The press release on the end of the garrison
That the time had come to go home, or to work, it was clear to the Trieste dockers who had launched the protest threatening to block the port, the first in Italy for the movement of goods, if the government had not taken back the the Green Pass is mandatory for his workplaces, which he did not do. The communiqué announcing the end of the garrison had been prepared in detail on Saturday afternoon. “We won this first battle”, the text read, but we need to “take a step forward together with the thousands of people and groups with whom we have come into contact in recent days”, therefore “from tomorrow we return to work”
