Free tampons or No Green Pass: after Saturday's clashes in Rome and Milan and the squad attack on the CGIL, it is on this dual direction. the protest spreads in view of the Green Pass Day on Friday 15th October when will become mandatory the vaccination certificate. With two novelties.
The first novelty concerns the surprise intervention of the founder of the Five Stars, Beppe Grillo, in favor of free tampons, that is, paid for by all taxpayers, as the leaders of the right, Giorgia Meloni and Matteo Salvini have been asking for days. Hypothesis opposed by the forces supporting the Draghi government who consider it a mockery that the reluctance to anti-Covid vaccination, a real weapon to get out of the pandemic, must be paid for by everyone, including those who have been regularly vaccinated. But the political instrumentality of the Grillo-Meloni-Salvini trio it is all too obvious to require further consideration.
The second novelty is that the fight for free tampons does not seem able to stop the protest and the most striking example comes from Trieste, where the dock workers have taken to the fight and threaten to block the most important Italian port indefinitely if it does not come Green Pass obligation withdrawn approved by a large majority in Parliament. To try to appease the protest of the Trieste port workers, the Viminale also took the field, declaring itself available, exceptionally and considering the strategic nature of an infrastructure such as the port of Trieste, to temporarily grant free tampons. No way. The dockers of Trieste rejected the Viminale's offer and threatened to continue the fight with the consequent blockade of the port until the Green Pass obligation is withdrawn. Reckless move that risks inflaming spirits in view of the fateful appointment next Friday, in view of which even truck drivers are on a war footing, 30% of whom do not have the Green Pass.
