Strikes and protests swept across Italy, leading to the cancellation of dozens of flights and widespread disruption of train and urban transport services. The actions were organized by grassroots worker groups in opposition to the government's plans to increase military spending and its support for Israel. Demonstrations took place in several cities, with notable marches in Turin and Genoa, attended by international activists and public figures. In Venice, protesters blocked access to the offices of a major defense company before being dispersed by police. Organizers have announced further protests against the government's financial priorities, criticizing the emphasis on military funding over social services.
