The International May Day event took place:

Worker, internationalist, and for the socialist revolution!

Organized by the Trotskyists of the FLTI

From Italy

Speech by Giovanni, from Avanzata Proletaria

Greetings for the comrades present today and thank you for letting me be a part of such an important event for the international working class.
We Bring a  salute from Italy where the whole country is marching in support to the Palestinian cause, with actions together with the Palestinian people as was in September 2025, with a general strike for Gaza that fully paralyzed the economic activity. 

This general strike in September 2025 continued in the form of organization, as a movement in ongoing support to the Palestinian people as shown last February with actions that blocked ports and stopped the delivery of weapons and other supplies for the Zionist state. This happened in 10 Italian ports and more that other 20 ports in the Mediterranean sea.
These last months, the movement in support of the Palestinian cause has developed, and faced Meloni right-wing government that has been part of the fundamental support to Trump and Netanyahu’s offensive in the Middle East. Beyond mentioning their differences during the last months, it has supported the genocide from the beginning.  This great movement has included all the sectors: workers, students. Pro-Palestinian movements, human rights movements, movements from all Italy have opposed both the imperialist offensive and Meloni government.

But there is a front made of  treacherous leaderships, an overabundance of treacherous leaderships, that are trying to ride on this movement, trying to take over this movement so that it does not move forward in its consequent, revolutionary struggle, a syruggle that is the only way to defeat them. On the contrary, they are preparing a popular front, a class collaboration front with opposition bourgeois sectors to channel everything. That is to say, they are setting up an anti-right front, an anti-Meloni front, an anti-Trump front, an anti-fascist front, etc. That way, they could subdue the movement to the opposition “democratic” bourgeoisies so they can drown it.
We don´t forget it has been the Democrat Biden who started the genocide in Palestine. Trump has come to finish his work. Fascism is propelled by imperialism. Hence, it is not “Democracy vs. Fascism”.  

So we finish by saying that what is important is the independent organization of the working class and to build the combat starting from the very same working class to defeat them with the working class methods. As we have said, we need to gather supplies and weapons, etc. from the workers organizations to effectively take them to the Palestinian resistance organizations. We need to have them recognized as liberation belligerent army of an oppressed nation.  This is the program for which we fight.

We have here already the 3rd  or 4th  fleet that cannot break the fence and ends up as a testimonial propaganda action, useless to get effective help to the Palestinian masses in need. That is all, Thank you very much.
