One peace, two squares. In Milan, in the demonstration called by Carlo Calenda, gathered those who do not want an end to the conflict at any cost and who above all, they are keen to specify, do not combine peace with the surrender of Ukraine .
More voices and less distinction instead in Rome , where the secular and Catholic associations, Acli and Arci, the trade unions, the Disarmament Network, Pd, M5s and the Green Left Italy Alliance have joined.
" We are more than 100 thousand ", the organizers said at the end of the event, which ended on the notes of "Bella Ciao".
The positions are more nuanced: if Giuseppe Conte attacks the square in Milan ("Am I really for peace?") And warns the government about the dispatch of weapons (" Do not dare to decide on a sixth dispatch without a confrontation in Parliament ") urging the opening of an international negotiation "because the strategy developed by the rulers does not lead us to a way out", there is the Democratic Party which supports the position of NATO and the United States .
"The central point is the end of the Russian invasion," said Enrico Letta . "We will examine the new decree for the dispatch of weapons when the government presents a proposal, but we have always said that we will work in continuity with what has been done and in line with the European and international alliances to which we are part".
The dem secretary was also challenged by some demonstrators, who branded him as a "warmonger and pro-American", telling him to "go home".
"We must put Putin against the wall", emphasized Laura Boldrini, while Stefano Bonaccini said that "we must ask for a little more diplomacy but without forgetting that the aggressor is Putin and Ukraine must be supported ".
From Milan comes the attack of the moderates of the Third Pole on Conte: "It is absurd to argue between the squares as Conte does", the thrust of Matteo Renzi, " ".
