The joint call indicates that the march will take place on January 10 from the Esquilino Square to the US Embassy in this capital.

Among the organizations that launched this initiative are the Power to the People party, the Socialist Homeland party, the Communist Network party, the Cambiare Rotta youth organizations, the Alternative Student Opposition (OSA), the Historical Pact of Italy, and the Latin American Progressive Platform.

“Hands off the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela!, Stop US imperialism and Zionism!, and Freedom for Nicolas Maduro and Cilia Flores!” are the slogans of this call to action, to which the social organizations ARCI and CRED, the Palestinian Student Movement, and the La Villetta per Cuba Association, among others, also joined.

“We firmly condemn the expansion of war as a tool for resolving conflicts between States and the latest and extremely serious escalation of hostilities caused by the Trump administration’s military attack on the Republic of Venezuela and the kidnapping of its president,” they reaffirmed in a proclamation read during the rally.

Protests against this aggression began in the country on January 3.

Marches took place over the last weekend in major cities such as Rome, Milan, Bologna, Naples, and Turin, as well as in Rimini, Cuneo, Salerno, Savona, Imperia, and Empoli, in which thousands of citizens participated.
