From fight to party is a snap. Nicola Fratoianni on the morning of May 1 had thundered: “It’s not a festive atmosphere. Between low salaries, high cost of living, precariousness, insecurity, there is little for workers to celebrate. And then the bad decree of the Meloni government. clear that this May 1st we cannot celebrate, but prepare for the fight”. However, a few hours later the leaders of the Italian Left were intercepted in Piazza San Giovanni at the usual trade union concert.
“I’m here to bring my son, but in reality there is little to celebrate, given the work decree wanted by the Meloni government, it is precarious and starvation wages are paid. Let’s say I am here in a personal capacity”, Fratoianni dissociates, pinched even from the video cameras of the Fact. “I’m here to take my 10 year old who has never seen it, I came when I was younger. For thousands of guys it’s a good opportunity, they’d do well to come” he says with a little embarrassment.
“Today it is important not to forget that this is a country where wages and salaries remain low, the cost of living is ever higher, precariousness is rampant. And the fact that on May 1st the government nice idea to put in place a decree that makes the world of work even more precarious is what should worry everyone”, he says in the audience enjoying the music.
