‘Sicily is not a war lab!’ Hundreds march against NATO drills (PHOTOS, VIDEO)
Published time: 1 Nov, 2015 02:12
Hundreds
of people have taken to the streets of Sicily protesting against
Trident Juncture 2015, the largest military maneuvers in more than a
decade, which NATO claims are designed to adapt the alliance to
“emerging security challenges.”
The
protesters marched through the streets of the city of Marsala, less
than 10 miles (16km) from Vincenzo Florio Airport. The airport is a base
for the 37th Wing of the Italian air force and is one of the forward
operating bases (FOBs) used by NATO Airborne Early Warning and Control.
Organized by the “No war, no NATO” group, activists from all corners of the Italian island marched with banners reading “Sicily is not laboratory of the war” and "Sicily is no war zone". People urged the Italian government to better invest in education and the medical sector rather than military activity.
