Demonstration for Ukraine in Naples: that's when it marches against the war

Numerous spontaneous demonstrations have been organized around the world in solidarity with Ukraine following the Russian attacks that began on the night between February 23 and 24, 2022, and the citizens of Naples have also made their voices heard.

After the beautiful peace march that took place yesterday afternoon, February 24th, on Via Toledo, there will be a new demonstration on February 26th , this time organised by the unions.

It will be a further way to protest and condemn Russian military actions and call for an end to the attacks.

The event in the center of Naples

The unions that have organised the new demonstration are Cgil , Cisl and Uil Napoli who will meet at 11.00 on 26 February at Largo Berlinguer.

Naturally, everyone is invited to participate to have their say and give an important sign of peace by “condemning the Russian military aggression and calling for an immediate halt to hostilities.”

The unions demand, as their primary objective, the humanitarian protection of civilians , offering their full solidarity to the people and workers. A peace process must be initiated, especially through political and diplomatic channels, at European and UN levels.

The trade unions conclude:

Never before has it been more evident that peace and the rejection of war must be the top priority on the Italian, European, and global political agenda. The European Union must act in accordance with its founding principles in defense of peace and democracy. CGIL, CISL, and UIL Napoli are promoting the demonstration in Naples with other organizations.

The great popular demonstration in Naples

The march, which has already taken place, saw hundreds of people unfurling a massive 30-meter-high peace flag from Largo Berlinguer to the Prefecture. Activists, Neapolitan and Ukrainian citizens living in the city, trade unions, and associations participated.

Even in front of the stadium , before the Napoli-Barcelona match, there were demonstrations of solidarity, as well as in Pompeii with a funeral vigil.

The banners and signs read " No to war ," "Against Russian bombs. Against NATO. Naples for peace," and "NATO's expansionism has created the conditions for this war. Enough, let's demilitarize the planet."

In short, it was truly one great voice made up of hundreds of individuals to stand up and ask for peace.

The Chamber of Commerce lights up with the colors of Ukraine

From the evening of February 24, the Naples Chamber of Commerce will always be illuminated in the colors of the Ukrainian flag , yellow and blue, as a sign of solidarity.

The lights will remain on until the end of the aggression, as a testimony against the dictatorships of every part of the world.
