A-Infos (en) Italy, Milano, FAI: SATURDAY 24 IN THE SQUARE AGAINST WARS, STATES, ARMIES, NATIONALISM and BORDERS (ca, de, it, pt, tr)[machine translation]

Below is our appeal and flyer for the event on Saturday 24 February 
2024, 2.30 pm Piazzale Loreto. ---- On February 24, the anniversary of 
the beginning of the invasion of Ukraine by the Russian Federation in 
support of the separatist republics of Donbass, we take to the streets 
against all the wars, imperialist and colonial, that are blooding vast 
areas of the planet. ---- With the Israeli genocide underway in the Gaza 
Strip, the opening of the conflict in the Red Sea, the clashes on the 
border of Lebanon, the multiplication of Turkish attacks in Rojava, the 
tensions over Taiwan, the civil war in Sudan and in the Republic of 
Congo, the struggle for control of resources on the African continent, 
the risk of war on a global scale is now a real possibility.

What is the Italian government doing to guarantee itself a place at the 
imperialist banquet?

- Launches new war missions by sending two frigates to the Red Sea and 
taking charge of the EU-led Operation Aspides.
- Fuels the ongoing bloody conflicts, with a new shipment of weapons to 
Ukraine (according to data from the Institute for the World Economy in 
Kiel, updated to 31 October, the Italian governments have already paid 
11 billion euros) and Israel, the deployment of 3,500 soldiers in 
Eastern Europe and on the Black Sea, the sale of weapons throughout the 
world and the training of the special forces of the military 
dictatorships of the Sahel to block immigration and secure energy resources.
- Allocate further billions for the military sector (war spending has 
reached 104 million euros per day.!). Increases the strength of the 
armed forces by 10,000 soldiers and proposes the creation of a military 
reserve to prepare for war at home.
- Cuts funding to UNRWA, together with the United States starving 
Palestinian refugees whose livelihood depends exclusively on 
international aid and encouraging a new expulsion from their territory.

- It takes away funds from healthcare, schools and public construction 
to divert them to the war economy.

- Intensifies the presence of the army in our cities with the 'Safe 
Streets' operation and militarist propaganda in schools.

We need to say enough and concretely oppose it if we don't want to be 
dragged into the spiral of war.

Let's mobilize for:
- Stop the ongoing massacres, in Gaza, in the West Bank, in Ukraine, 
everywhere.
- Stop funding and supplies of weapons to the parties to the conflict.

- Reduce military spending.
- Withdraw all military missions abroad.

- Concretely support the populations who are victims of state crime, as 
well as the objectors, evaders and deserters of all wars.
