Pro-Palestinian activists have launched a new campaign at the port of Gioia Tauro in southern Italy aimed at disrupting military supplies involved in the Gaza genocide.
The new action dubbed “Global Intifada Disarm” was launched during a maritime and land demonstration at the port as five boats from the Thousand Madleens to Gaza initiative approached the Calabrian port in a symbolic protest against Italy’s war economy and supply chains.
The 29 May mobilisation, called by grassroots trade unions and the Movement of Young Palestinians in Italy, saw demonstrations across the country, from ports and logistics hubs to factories identified by campaigners as being linked to military production and supply chains connected to Israel.
In Calabria, the focus was Gioia Tauro, one of the Mediterranean’s most important ports.
The maritime component began the day before, when vessels departed from the nearby port of Cetraro and sailed towards Gioia Tauro.
