보도는 <카고선에는 미국에서 생산하고 어느 더러운 전쟁에서 사용됐을지 모르는 무장한 M1애이브람스탱크가 실려있었으며, 사우디 아라비아에서 입항했다>라며 <한 컨테이너창고는 탄약과 폭발물질로 가득차 있었다. <합법적 승인>하에 어떠한 통제도 없이 제노아항만을 지나갈 예정이었던 카고선은 제노아항구의 반파쇼반전을 지향하는 노동자들에 의해 3년만에 비밀을 벗게됐다>고 밝혔다.
제노아항만노동자들은 <우리는 범죄적 전쟁이 아닌 평화를 위해 일할 것을 요구한다. 제노아항구를 포함해 모든 항구들에서 더이상 무기를 들이지 말라. 평화의 들불을 밝히자!>고 호소했다.

Once again, in spite of the police and financial police cordon and the complicit silence of the Port Authority, the workers of the Port of Genoa unmasked the Bahri ship’s cargo of death. These are already armed M1 Abrams tanks, produced in the USA and bound for who knows what dirty war on board, as usual, the Bahri death ships of Saudi Arabia. On the deck of the same ship containers full of ammunition and explosives travel in plain sight. All of this without any control by the competent authorities (Prefecture, Port Authority, Harbour Master’s Office) against these ships, which have been denounced for the last 3 years by the workers and the pacifist and anti-militarist movements. These requests were repeated in the demonstration of April 2nd and delivered to the President of the port Signorini, who did not give an answer to the civil society nor to the Bishops of Genoa and Savona, who were the main interpreters. The only controls in the port are directed against the workers who are prevented from verifying the presence and destination of weapons that they do not want to contribute to circulate in the world, aware of the suffering and destruction that they cause to peoples already exploited by the same geopolitical powers that produce those same weapons and on which they profit. Nonetheless, thanks to the courage of some workers we have these images that we ask everyone to disseminate, nailing the political and economic interests that are at the origin of them to their moral and material responsibilities. WE DEMAND TO WORK FOR PEACE, NOT CRIMINAL WAR. NO MORE WEAPONS IN THE PORT OF GENOA AND IN ALL PORTS. LET’S TURN ON THE BEACONS OF PEACE The watchwords of the strike of April 22 and the national demonstration that sees workers and students united assume even more importance! |
