Conte's move: "A new demonstration against rearmament in the fall"

"We will find ourselves in the fall with many other political forces that say no to this crazy race to rearmament, that want to restore dignity to politics, dialogue, diplomacy and not spend absurd amounts of money on weapons that force us to cut health spending, investments, spending on schools, education and the future of our children and also cut investments in labor policies. Let's remember that we have the lowest wages in Europe". This is the relaunch of Giuseppe Conte . The new move by the M5S leader to continue to lead the progressive and pacifist front in the broad field. After the demonstration in recent weeks in Rome , now the former prime minister is talking about a new anti-rearmament square in the fall. Will the PD and other oppositions also participate? "We will open it to everyone, of course, I expect it, I'm happy" says Conte.

It is part of a strategy: to cover the most left-wing area of ​​the coalition. “We Von der Leyen , in the last legislature, voted for her, we allowed her to start, we are talking about Von der Leyen one, on the basis of the Green Deal. The votes of the M5s were decisive in starting the Von der Leyen one Commission. And I must say that the action of the Von der Leyen one Commission was a true green transition set at various levels with great determination. So it is with pain that we are now witnessing a complete reversal. A darkening of this perspective that for us means interrupting halfway a job already done" explains Conte in his speech to the Chamber for the presentation of the book by Ilaria Fontana "Cicatrici di terra, semi di speranza".

"All this has been abandoned" continues the M5S leader adding that the resources have been diverted "only to produce weapons and missiles and to carry out an industrial reconversion that will lead us to produce only weapons in the future. Once an industrial reconversion has been carried out in this direction there is no going back. Today it is a road of no return". For the M5S president "witnessing this collective madness without being able to have an impact at this time is a cause of great suffering for us. However, we do not give up at all: even when we are a minority" in the European institutions "we will demonstrate that we are a majority in the country", he adds relaunching the demonstration against the rearmament plan planned for the autumn in Rome "with all the political forces, European and not only".
