The note released on the Ubi website, the basic Union of Trade Unions, speaks clearly, and is destined to ignite more than one controversy. “Some workers of the Galileo Galilei civil airport in Pisa have informed us of a very serious fact: ‘humanitarian’ flights depart from the Cargo Village located at the civil airport, which should be filled with provisions, food, medicines and anything else useful for the Ukrainian populations tormented for weeks by bombings and fighting. But is not so! When they showed up under the plane, the cargo workers were faced with crates full of weapons of various types, ammunition and explosives. Faced with this very serious fact, the workers refused to load the cargo. We strongly denounce this real falsification, which cynically uses the ‘humanitarian’ cover to continue fueling the war in Ukraine ”.
In calling for the arms loads to be stopped, the union has called a protest demonstration for Saturday 19 March at Galilei airport. Password: «From Tuscany bridges of peace, not flights of war!».
PRC: “The Minister of Defense reports to Parliament”
“We want answers and clarifications,” ask Maurizio Acerbo, national secretary of the Communist Refoundation, Ciccio Auletta, councilor for ‘Rights in the Municipality’ and Giovanni Bruno of the federation of Pisa in a note. “Citizens have the right to know what kind of military operations their country is conducting, especially when a city lends its airports, becoming a direct protagonist of the conflict on the one hand and a potential target on the other. The Pisa episode is very serious, and bitterly confirms our concerns. For this reason, together with the deputies of the ManifestA group we have already asked the Minister of Defense to report in the classroom and prepared a parliamentary question. We will also question the Mayor Conti because it is not permissible that those who govern the city do not know, do not say or do not care about what is happening and that concerns us all, “the note concludes.
