[Onthebarricades] ITALY: Campaign of repression launched against left unions and parties

[Andy]

- ----- Forwarded message

The Italian imperialist state, the Prodi/Bertinotti
government launched a repressive campaign against the
vanguard workers in several factories and work places and
against the Italian Maoists, their press, their mass
activities, in a number of cities in Italy.

The charge is "subversive association with purpose of
terrorism", the aim is to hinder and suppress the presence
of the Maoists in Italy. The searches took place in
Taranto, Potenza, Palermo, Ravenna, Milan, Bergamo, Venice,
Neaples,

Siena, Perugia, in the offices of union and the houses of
workers activists. The imperialist press speaks about
subversives, terrorists, connections with the international
terrorism, but the particular feature of this operation is
that it is focused on the criminalization of the activities
in the big factories: the Fiat -- the Fiat Sata in Melfi,
site of the great 21-days-long struggle in the 94, is the
true epicentre of the operation -- the Ilva, the
petrochemilcals, the shipyards, etc., at the aim to directly
hit the working class, the class organization, the communist
Marxist-Leninist-Maoist press.

proletari comunisti and the Slai Cobas for the class union
are vigorously responding in the different cities and work
places to defend the comrades hit by the repression,
continuing and intensifying their activities in the fire of
the class struggle and closely linked with the masses.

proletari comunisti, together with other Italian communist
organizations in our, also carries forward a political
national campaign in occasion of the 90th anniversary of the
October Revolution, with a central final initiative that
will take place in Rome, the 10th of November, at 4 P.M. at
the Villaggio Globale
