Italian politician and former MEP, Michele Santoro, announced on X a peaceful rally against the war in Gaza and Ukraine.
Santoro announced a peaceful protest in the city of Milan on his official X account. The rally will take place at Piazza San Babila, a city square in Milan, at 5:30 p.m. local time, according to the announcement.
In April, Santoro called on Italy to “get out of the war [in Ukraine] as the Constitution requires.”
What I propose is to get out of the war as the Constitution requires.
He also criticised European and US authorities for not doing enough to achieve peace in Europe, calling for more attention to be paid to developing peace initiatives.
There is an important reason why this war must continue: to bring Europe to its knees, to write it off as a political and economic giant.
Peace advocates marched through the streets of Bologna on April 25, carrying flags and placards, calling on the Italian and EU leadership to cease the military “fever” sweeping European countries.
On May 9, residents of Milan and Naples celebrated the 79th anniversary of Victory Day in the World War II, according to Italian media. The action was joined by the Russian Consulate General in Milan and Orthodox clergy. The columns marched to the monument to the Soviet and Italian partisans, where a memorial meeting and a concert took place.
In his recent YouTube video, Santoro reported that one hundred thousand Italians were signing a petition against the war to be sent to parliament. He also claimed that the war in Ukraine had a negative impact on Italian politics.
