Genoa Dockworkers Lead Protest Against Attacks On Sumud Flotilla

GENOA, ITALY - OCTOBER 03: A sign reading “International strike against the massacres of capitalism” was seen during a second rally, composed mainly of dockworkers from the Autonomous Committee of Port Workers (CALP) and students from schools and universities, as they moved from the sit-in in front of the port to the railway station, screaming “Let’s block everything” on October 03, 2025 in Genoa, Italy. The national strike day was called in response to the Israeli forces’ boarding of the Global Sumud Flotilla. The Commission for the Guarantee declared the strike day called by all the unions as illegitimate for lack of proper notice. Dockworkers, students and civil society still gathered by the thousands at the Port of Genoa to protest against the genocide in Gaza and in solidarity with the Global Sumud Flotilla.
