ITALY: 1st March 2010 Strike of Foreigners

 A group which was formed on Facebook and is now gaining support of associations of foreigners in Italy has called for a general strike of foreigners in the country.
The group called “1st March 2010 Strike of Foreigners”, is open to people of all races, gender, faith, education and political leanings, immigrants, descendants of immigrants and native Italians.
“We are brought together by awareness of the importance of the social, cultural and economic contribution of immigration to our country. We are outraged by the smear campaign against foreigners in Italy, which has led to a barbaric, racist atmosphere and the adoption of discriminatory laws which are far from the principles and the spirit of our Constitution,” says the Manifesto for “1st March 2010 Strike of Foreigners”.  READ
