"The attack received last night on one of the main boats of the Global Sumud Flotilla represents a serious act intimidating that prefigures dramatic scenarios and that must not remain silent". This is denounced by the Filt Cgil which, confirming "the total support for the expedition" and highlighting that "what happened must not go under silence", asks "that the government and all the institutions must watch over and protect this great humanitarian enterprise with firmness and concrete actions. If aid is not allowed to reach Gaza - specifies the union - we will be ready to put in place the necessary actions, starting with a national mobilization of the port workers".

"All our territorial structures - explains Filt CGIL in a note - are already making an active contribution in political and organisational terms, providing logistical support and volunteer as in the case of the dockers of Genoa. Transport is not can be used as an instrument of genocide and crimes and we will do what is necessary to ensure that the ports of the Italians, thanks to the workers, do not become Italians. Today - we will participate in the discussion promoted by by the European Transport Federation in which we will try to identify joint initiatives with the representatives of the dockers European Championships".
