Gigi Malabarba — 2024-12-20T07:12:00Z

On 29 November, half a million workers in Italy took part in the general strike called by the CGIL (General Confederation of Labour) and the UIL (Italian Labour Union). Are we at the dawn of a new lease of life for social struggles in Italy? A faint hope in a Europe that seems to be sinking ever more surely towards barbarism.
