This afternoon, we had a demonstration here.
We were present in all the most important cities in Italy.
This movement brought more people out than we thought it would.
Participation was huge.
In Milan, we had the largest demonstration.
So you see, once again
logistics workers have given a positive response.
But it is necessary to increase our forces.
To reach out to other industries!
To understand that we cannot win the upcoming battles by ourselves.
We can win in the warehouses, where we're present.
But the current attack on the workers is fierce.
It's not by chance that our main banner says:
"War against War!"
That is, it's a war against the workers.
This war is led in the regions
where capitalism is the least developed.
Where they create the dead.
Where they create starving conditions. In your country.
In the next months, millions or at least hundreds of thousands
of immigrants will reach Italy.
Today, the governments of all the countries have gathered in Strasbourg
and discussed how they could block this migration wave.
They go into these countries, Italy wants to go to Libya,
in order to export democracy!
The exportation of democracy by airplanes: bombing, killing! Women and children!
This is a war against the proletariat and its poor masses.
This is a war against us!
This is a war that governments also lead when
they attack us with labour law reforms!
You know, they now can fire people after one year of work and
they are only obliged to pay one month's salary in compensation?
In the past, there was at least art. 18
by which at least some of us were able to return into the factory.
If they want to fire us now,
they can do so from one day to the other.
If there is no opposition!
And the migrant workers, especially in the logistics sector,
have shown courageously that it is possible to win that battle!
We need to extend this battle.
We can stop these processes! And overthrow governments!
These attacks take place all over the world!
We face heavy repression in Morocco, in Egypt there's a military in power
in order to control every demonstration.
And in Italy, we're moving towards an authoritarian situation!
Both, in the workplaces and in the society in general.
It is possible to counter these politics of war with our own war.
We gather our forces to obtain victory over the enemies!
When we extend this force, we have amongst the logistics workers,
and extend it to other industries, we will also win this battle.
In this very moment, the same demonstration is taking place in other cities.
In Naples, we need to advance our struggle also at Fiat and
in other industries, not only in logistics!
We need to not only make public the logistics workers' struggle,
but also other movements of resistance.
Make public that it's possible to link the struggles..
That it's even possible to overthrow governments!
And that this general strike is a first sign.
That things are starting to take shape.
We need to extend the struggle to all other industries.
The struggles continue every day.
We did achieve important collective agreements in logistics.
But we need to extend this struggle to all other industries!
Because only if the workers unite
will they be able to win over their enemies.
There are one million people, and they make up a lot of six billion people.
They give us starvation and misery
in order to increase their profits.
In the crisis too, they make profits. And we, we lose our jobs
and we starve.
It's time to say "Enough!", and this demonstration is one of the moments
to tell the governments and our masters: "Enough!"
It's not only a struggle within the logistics industry.
It's a general strike today!
That is, a strike in all industries.
In Bologna, we're not able yet to involve other industries.
For the most part, we are logistics workers in this demonstration.
We need to extend it to other industries!
There are 24 million workers in Italy!
We need to extend the struggle to the others.
For that we, one day, will not only win 50 euros in this struggle!
If we win 50 euros more today, they'll take away 200 by tomorrow
the intervention of government, regions and municipalities.
In January, you all complained about the taxes.
Premier minister Renzi is giving you 80 euros,
and by regional and municipal taxes, he's taking 150 euros from you.
It is therefore necessary to not only fight in the factory,
but also in society!
And to try to change this world!
A world that only produces devastations and death!
We need to change and alter this state of the world.
It's necessary to extend this battle not only within the companies,
but amongst the citizens in general.
The struggle must involve the pupils, teachers, metal and textile as well as
chemical workers. In Bologna, we also have a struggle by the female hotel workers.
All these need to be linked to the logistics workers' struggle.
We have comrades who work in the ceramics industry.
We need to link their struggles to this struggle.
In the Modena region, 500 workers still have no contract today.
And if there's a contract for 40 years from now,
the labour union federations allowed these masters to not apply them.
We need to start the strike on Monday.
In this industry too, we need to win.
For it is possible to win when we are united.
We need to show these masters in the Modena region that
they are not our masters.
For the workers' force creates a counter power in the companies,
which will not allow these masters to do whatever they want,
with some help from the labour union federations.
On Monday, we'll probably start the general strike in the meat industry,
for we also want to win this battle in the industry in the Modena region.
And now, we're walking to the Interporto in order to organise a blockade.
Thank you all!
